Witness the trends... and tell me the bubble isn't about to burst.

  The fact that they are bubbles makes that an obvious comparison. But from the IPO perspective, things aren't nearly as crazy as they were in the ~1999 timeframe. The sheer number of IPO's back then was nuts, and most of them ended up falling off a cliff. Sure, there are a couple of bigs ones now, but it doesn't seem like mass delusion as then. What are you looking at to draw that conclusion?

  Facebook's IPO will be bigger because they put off their IPO as long as possible. In fact they got special dispensation from the SEC to delay the IPO even longer. So comparing FB in 2012 to Google in 2004 is not really useful.

    Google IPO'd six years after they were founded, Facebook waited 8 years. The comparison is not that unwarranted I think.
