@Gumby – Not sure I understand what you mean. Google is a fairly green company even without its recent green investments. The banners certainly do not create too much emissions:)

If we spend that advertising money at Google instead in alternate energy. Our energy problem would be gone by now… It is kind of ironic of watching Google going green while sucking in billions of bucks advertising meaningless ad banners that do nothing but distract my websurfing too much!!

@TFB – In that regard, I do admit that it would be possible for a new flavor to take over like what happened to MySpace. But the big big difference is that Facebook seems to improve every day and is heads and shoulders above everything else right now

@Matthew – Yes, no doubt, Facebook has so many possibilities. You could target ads about a specific financial product to all finance students in New York City very easily and there are many many other possibilities. It’s amazing how much knowledge Facebook has about each one of us.

I would rather go with Google ;-D

I think the company is much more diversified than Facebook who could be eaten alive by the next “techno flavor” the very same way Facebook did with Myspace.

I also like the fact that Google as tons of money sitting in their bank account. This means they can go through a huge recession without any problems.
