You Know What’s Cool? $300 Billion – Apple Says

First, we look at the facebook. Facebook’s latest round of financing from Goldman Sachs at a $50 billion valuation. At $50 billion, Facebook is now worth more than Yahoo (which has a $22 billion market cap) and eBay ($37 billion), and almost worth more than both of them combined. With this number, Facebook and Goldman agree that $50 Billion is cool!

So, we look at another spot. Apple. Steve says, $50 Billion is not cool! Seems it says to facebook and Goldman $50 billion is actually only 1/6th of the value of another closely-watched company in their tech space – Apple. Apple hit the $300 billion market cap milestone today after their stock surged 2 percent to open 2011. Look at the graph below.

Of course, Facebook’s revenues for 2010 are expected (at the high end) to be around $2 billion. For some perspective, Apple’s revenues were $20 billion just last quarter. They’ll be even higher for the quarter closing in a few days. Apple could be approaching $100 billion in revenue each year, up from $50 billion (again, Facebook’s overall value) a year ago.

For some better perspective, as of last quarter, Apple had $51 billion in cash (and cash equivalents) in the bank.

Facebook Mail

Well, others says this facebook email is the true google email killer and some says it’s not. My two cent, i’ts just a rival not a killer. Take a note, over 16%  companies who use OpenDNS service, totally block facebook and it’s mean, no email and no facebook. Many companies still block their employees from accessing Facebook at the office.  So, if we can’t check our email at work,  why are we using it?
