I am surprised that no one called out this one. FB has 900million users. So are you saying their revenues today are 100 billion dollars?
Actually their ad revenues for 2011 were more like ~ 4.2 bilion ( See http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-09-20/facebook-revenue-will-reach-4-27-billion-emarketer-says-1-.html )
They made $9.5/user/year in US/Canada and much less than that if the user is from other parts of the world.
