- agotterer 18y agoYea, but besides Google, Facebook and YouTube havent been profitable in 5 years, let alone 90 days. I'm pretty sure that if youtube doesnt come up with a viable business plan in the next year it might not even be worth keeping. Facebook on the other hand has serious revenue potential.
- david927 18y ago> Facebook on the other hand has serious revenue potential if it can survive the recoil from its sudden popularity, and if it can survive the onslaught of competitors. But those are both big if's.
- adbachman 18y agoSomeone else in the comments (on Cuban's site) said something similar. His response was to the effect of, "I have no interest in investing in those types of businesses. They take time to build. This is about hitting the ground running" [link to comment](http://blogmaverick.com/2009/02/09/the-mark-cuban-stimulus-plan-open-source-funding/#comment-57960 http://blogmaverick.com/2009/02/09/the-mark-cuban-stimulus-p...) Sounds pretty straight forward. The three you mention are ad based, he wants no ad based businesses.
