Amazon also has a multi faceted business model. Distribution, SaaS and PaaS offerings, Hardware sales, and probably some more I'm overlooking.

Facebook sells ad space to people on their chat platform that have little to zero intent to buy. The last time I saw a company (AOL) try to stuff ads in a chat client... well we all know how that went.

But Facebook has already managed to do something that Google hasn't: have more than one source of revenue

Facebook have a shitty ad product and it still generates $4b p.a and climbing, imagine how good they would be if they actually figured this stuff out

Hugely overvalued, of course. Having wiped out competition, there is no room left for them to grow.

I'm sure the same thing was said before they started the web services business, too, but they sure managed to find some room for growth there.
