Can facebook possibly make as much money as has been invested in them?

  Sorry for stating the obvious, but they generally have to show that they can make the money back (about 10x) to investors before taking the money... its much harder to comment on whether they can or not when your not involved with the company.

    Sorry for stating the obvious, but VC is a big risk that only rarely pays off. The VC bets on Facebook weren't because of a business model they have, it was on that they will be able to find one that works on a huge scale. Sort of like Google and AdWords. It's all unproven at the moment and the valuations were simply based on the number of users.

    That type of thinking led to the first dot-bomb, the housing boom/bust, and hell, even the depression. Lot's of people do very stupid things.
