And yes, Facebook's valuation exhibits the classic warning signs of a dot com bubble.

Nothing like shareholder's demanding profits to run something into the ground. One of the reasons FB is still as popular as it is is because they haven't tried to monetize it in every way possible. That literally just changed. Someone else will come around with a new site with much less adverts, content on making $100's of millions instead of billions and there goes that user base on FB that was worth $100b.

It is not like we literally haven't seen this happen before. There is no way for FB to get the revenue necessary to justify this price without destroying the very thing that made them valuable.
