I agree, it's most likely it won't be any close to Google's if that's what people is thinking.
In fact, social content is hard to monetize due to privacy concerns, thus IMHO Facebook is lacking of a clear long-term business model other than advertising. Google's investment in Zynga doesn't help that much either.
They have taken the right path targeting developers but I don't seem to understand where that is going.
So my answer is no, I wouldn't buy Facebook stock, except for speculation purposes.
- notahacker 16y agodifferences in CTR not withstanding, advertising worked pretty well as a long term business model for Google... Facebook barely scratched the surface of the advertising potential so far - targeted paid ads in streams, a recommendation engine and beating Foursquare et al at the location game are all feasible and likely to be more lucrative than their current rather passive sidebar ads.
