December 10 2007I’ve seen this video about a possible technology bubble on several sites and still think its well funny.
Why not put it on my blog too too:
youtube took down the original due to some silly lawsuit. Its still on another site though:
Is there a technology bubble? Is face book really worth $15 billion?
I’m not too sure about that but this video sure is funny i like the part about the sausage fest.
There are 4 comments
The video is funny, but the point is well made. Are companies really worth 20-30 times earnings. Are they worth billions when they haven’t made much if any money? Everyone wants to invest, particularly pension funds and large investors. That demand drives up the prices of these companies, often undeservedly so. Everyone is looking to make a bet on the next big hit, and with everyone betting, the stock price goes up. Is there a tech bubble? The better question is: is the whole market a bit of a bubble?
i do see you point D.M.B. i do not see the point of investing in something that has yet to make any real cash. what are these investors getting for their investments except for a chunk of the company. the only way they can see a decent return in my opinion is to then sell their share for a profit to somebody willing to pay more. Nobody wants to buy at the highest price though…
i’m very interested to see what will happen.
I’ve seen this video before. Its funny. The bit about blogging is certainly true. “babies blogging in the womb” lol. Everyone wants to earn money online, and blogging is the trend. With the success of people of John Chow providing inspiration.
The reason why site are being valued at extraordinary amounts is because the potential of exposure to advertisers. With regionalised advertising on TV, radio, this is contrasted with the global reach of websites.
By the way, i have had my site valued. £100k anyone?
I have watched the video and it was indeed funny. I am bit shocked that facebook does cost that much. But I do think that with such high advertising campaign and with the companies name attached to it then I would say that facebook might indeed cost that much.
