I disagree. Google's value is in the quality of its results and the speed of search. Facebook's value is in 1) all the users (a social site sucks if your friends aren't there) and 2) it's brand (people know about it and trust it). Someone could buy equivalent technology but not the users or the brand. Remember Google Video vs YouTube?
