Google's pageviews have more value (because they know exactly what people are looking for), Google IPOed at a valuation of 20% of what Facebook wanted in valuation, and Google is already entrenched into the market that the author is suggesting Facebook is going to have such an easy time moving into.

My money is on Google.

Sure, 20% of Facebook's valuation but also 1/2 of Facebook's revenues.

Facebook still has a lot to prove, but they also have a lot more opportunity to improve.

What's your case for that? They have almost a billion users. How many more are they going to get, and are users outside of the US and Europe (and a few scattered nations) of any value to Facebook at all?
