Facebook  generates $4 per user, compared with Google&#8217;s $24 per user and Yahoo&#8217;s  $8 per user, according to a recent report by JPMorgan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Facebook&#8217;s value is being marketed as potential over hard numbers.\u00a0 Since Facebook surpassed Google as the most visited website and the site displaying the most ads, the value of Facebook might just be at the beginning.\u00a0 Or is it?\u00a0 Only time will tell.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think?\u00a0 Are inflated valuations appropriate for dot-com brands like Facebook?\u00a0 Leave a comment and share your thoughts.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sxc.hu\/photo\/1198416\">Stock.xchng<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two insightful articles from Reuters this week paint an interesting picture for the top social networking sites.\u00a0 As the articles explain, LinkedIn could go public in 2011 and Facebook in 2012.
