websites like http://www.shopandsave.com are slowly taking away market share from facebook. They prevented facebook market place from taking off.

There will be more sites like http://www.shopandsave.com that will take traffic away from facebook

Neither was lying to investors during the dotcom boom.

The other sites seem valued correctly except Digg, why is Digg rather far down the list regardless of its number of users? Do they have an ineffective ad platform through Federated media?

If you don’t agree with the valuations, give some meaningful counter-arguments. Don’t just claim that a private company’s value cannot be more than 5 X revenues. Remember that pretty much all startups start off with NO revenues.

Frankly, I’m shoked that FaceBook was valued less than the $15 Billion than Microsoft assesed…since that time, Facebook has matured by leaps and bounds.

I’ve found that volunteer communities, whether it’s Wikipedia editors, or the National Parks Service volunteers, are proud of creating value. It’s one of the primary motivations for volunteering.

Most volunteer communities don’t measure that value in dollars, but that other people do doesn’t take away from that pride. If anything, it’s a great external validation — that people not intimately familiar with the volunteer community’s motives nevertheless see real value in their contributions.

“In 2002, Eliot Spitzer published Merrill Lynch e-mails in which Blodget allegedly gave assessments about stocks, which conflicted with what was publicly published.[5] In 2003, he was charged with civil securities fraud by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.”

That frat-guyish website has absolutely no long term appeal.

My valuation, which is just as good as this guy’s is, and which is just as good as yours is, is at $200,000.00 and that’s for the hard assets like Aeron chairs and Herman Miller cubes.

Anyone who thinks otherwise should plug their ears because that bubble will make a huge noise when it pops.

Billions… scheesh!
