Beijing time November 22 Morning news, foreign analysts believe that Facebook in market capitalisation to be the same as ebay, Google and Yahoo, the internet giants, the key is to increase revenue. A report from Google and Yahoo, which has a comparable online asset trading market secondmarket, says the market is valuing Facebook at $41 billion trillion.　　ebay, which has a market capitalisation of $39.3 billion trillion, is one of the largest online retailers in the US, with a market capitalisation of $186 billion trillion and Yahoo's market capitalisation at $21 billion trillion. Many Internet analysts compare Facebook's future offerings to Google and Yahoo, because all three are internet companies.　　But there is a lot of uncertainty about the performance of equities, as evidenced by the huge gap between Google and Yahoo. Google's IPO in 2004 was priced at $85, and its share price rose to $583.72 by Wednesday.　　In 1996, Yahoo's IPO price of 24.50 U.S. dollars, at the beginning of this century has reached a slightly over 100 U.S. dollar peak, but now has fallen to 16.24 U.S. dollars. Yun Kim, analyst with gleacher& Company, the US market analyst, believes Facebook is unlikely to achieve high growth like Google because the overall stock price level is much higher than it is now.　　But if Facebook can manage to make a profit from its huge user base, its revenue-running rate (revenue run rate) could reach Google and Yahoo. Augie Ray, a research firm Forrester analyst Oggie Rey, says that Facebook needs to be more mature from a revenue perspective.　　But he also believes that Facebook today is comparable to Google and Yahoo before the IPO. It's not just social networking. Oggie Rey said: "Facebook's position gives it a huge advantage, as shown by the growth in its advertising revenue." After three or four years, Facebook's revenue pattern will change dramatically. At present, Facebook is immature in terms of the stability and source of revenue. "To increase revenue, Facebook is no longer confined to the social sphere, and has recently launched its messages service," he said. Currently, Facebook has yet to display ads through the service.　　Oggie Rey that this is to win the trust of users. Recently, Facebook also launched a group buying platform places Deals, allowing businesses to sell to locals. The service is similar to Groupon, but is now free.　　Oggie Rey that the platform's revenue outlook is very broad and may introduce a bidding system similar to Google AdWords in the future. Yun Kim believes that Facebook's future performance may be somewhere between Google and Yahoo. As to when Facebook will make an IPO, Thiel, a board member of the company, Peterthiel that it will not be listed until 2012. (Chin Liang)
