> The bottom line is this - if you were to place a bet (as in betting your career) on which company will be dominant 20 years from now and which will become yet another dying Internet fad, I'd bet in favor of Facebook.

You statement is ambiguous; it doesn't say whether facebook will be the former or the latter. (my take is it could easily go either way).

Ugh, I hate arguing grammar.

Technically what I said was not ambiguous.

If you quote the first sentence alone, it could only be considered ambiguous if you consider "dying internet fad" as a favorable bet. My 2nd sentence confirms my intent.
