Then tack on companies that make games on Facebook and pay royalties. Zynga is an online gaming company that was basically created to design games and generate revenue through FB. They now have a few thousand employees and are traded on NASDAQ.

Facebook is now an industry in and of itself.

How do you guys think Google got so big? It is 100% thanks to their advertising model.
I understand that - but they are not Google
