Funny you think that statement means anything useful.

Facebook certainly is powered by technology and its future certainly relies on innovating using technology. Why don't you clarify what you mean in more than a single sentence?

He referred to EBay as "not a technology" company, because they don't have many technical people in management. Just because Facebook has technical people in management, doesn't make it a "technology company" either. At least, not yet. Facebook is a great social networking site but certainy not a technology company. My examples of technology companies include Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, Sun, BEA etc.

Funny. I wouldn't include any of those on my list of innovative companies. So maybe technology is just an irrelevant term anyway. Let's say "technically innovative" instead.
