It's a fallacy to conflate "success" with "hype".

Facebook is going to make money and be successful, barring some unforeseen craziness. They made a billion in net income last year! However, where it seems that the tech world and the investment world diverge is in the expectations. $1BB (or 2,3,4,5) isn't enough to buy in at the anticipated price.
