Follow-up question: why specifically does Paul Buchheit think that "Facebook has the potential to be worth more than Google"? http://www.quora.com/Paul-Buchheit

  Paul answered: "Because the future is in people." As opposed to the present or past? Paul writes a lot of thoughtful stuff but that throw-away line doesn't make any sense. Any profitable venture is always about the people. When has that not been true?

  In that answer he links to an article which ends on an important point that the author of the submitted TC article seems to ignore: Of course there's no guarantee that Facebook will actually realize any of this potential -- there were many search engines before Google, and they all fumbled the opportunity they had, but it's important to at least understand the potential for big things.
