For $8.5 billion. American analysts recently valued the Twitter microblogging service at $7 billion (in 2009, it was worth 7 times less). The capitalization of the three listed projects is expanding at unimaginable rates. At the same time, each of them has serious internal difficulties. Their essence boils down to the fact that companies, having a multi-million audience, are not yet able to monetize it qualitatively. Thus, in 2010, Skype suffered losses in the amount of $7 million with a turnover of $860 million. First of all, this is due to the fact that out of 600 million of its users, only 8,800,000 paid for additional services - calls to fixed and mobile phones.

If the annual turnover of the beverage corporation is now estimated at $60 billion, then the gross income of Facebook in 2010 was only $1.86 billion. And eMarketer is still afraid to give forecasts of explosive growth of the social network's revenue. According to the company's estimate, in 2012 Facebook's turnover will be only $5.7 billion. Meanwhile, the first symptoms of the fact that there are no more "friends" are appearing in the social network. This meansroject should be collected - live money.
