Google is twice as big as Facebook.
 

that is in market captialization. What would you rather own??? Half of Google or all of Facebook? $33 in earnings per share for Goog and .43 for Facebook.

Anyone think Facebook is going up in the long run?

Half of Google without a doubt.

Of course it will have to be google this year at least.

FB will get into search , just wait, they will be big!

i love Google no matter what they do i will follow them till the day i die

so half of Google

Google of course :)

Google, no question.

How quickly people forget myspace and how great that was supposed to be.

I wouldnt be surprised if in 5 years Facebook member's base is a fraction of what it is today and people moved on to the "new thing." They better use their cash and get some other big things going.

I wouldn't bet on either one in the real "long run"

They aren't gonna be like IBM or GE or other companies that have spanned decades (and in some cases centuries)

Google is a monster today. A few years back it was Yahoo.
It woud be surprising to me if Google was still in it's position 10 years from now. Or if computers even exist in their current state. Who knows what technological innovation is coming next?

As for FaceBook...as someone just said, it was only a few years ago that MySpace was GIGANTIC. Everybody had a MySpace. And it still is huge...but nothing like it once was.

And hell...look at AOL. They were an absolute monstrously large and profitable company. They even merged with Time/Warner. Now look at them.
Technology changed.

I use Google, I don't use facebook:2 cents:

Google and Facebook share another philosophy ' know thy audience '

Why anyone trusts Google is beyond me. Unfortunately, its too late for anyone to supplant Google as "THE" search engine to use.

If Google didn't completely dominate the internet (and if they weren't the main source of traffic), there would be no ass-kissers.

Google spams advertising all over your GMail account based on private emails sent to you by your friends and your children. This is good?

Based solely on P/E vs. "top tier" tech companies like Apple and Google (12-15 P/E), Facebook's stock should be $7-9 per share. But, there's companies like LinkedIn that have been trading at between 600-1000 P/E for over a year now. Amazon has had a P/E of over 100 for almost 10 years now. Way to early to start shorting it.

Facebook stock is a bubble. The only question is whether it is already fully inflated or barely beginning.
