>Google does Google is ads, it doesn't rely on them. See AK's response to pg in this thread. I not saying anything about Facebook's ability to survive, I'm saying it's a bad investment because it is overvalued, hence we're going to see a correction in the tech market. It seems everyone is missing that point, choosing instead to go nuts about how ad-supported models are working. Sure they're working, they're just very vulnerable. When you've got ad-supported models that are over valued, you're even more vulnerable. I don't think you can use the depression as any indication of what happens during a recession though. In recessions, it's possible to effectively shield oneself from a good deal of harm, whereas the depression came and found you. I agree with you on the last para. I think you're much better of controlling your own destiny in pretty much every case, even if you lose your shirt.
