The valuation of \"Facebook\" is rumored to be 100 billion dollars. It has more to do with very well organized crime than anything else (Goldman sachs is one of the main sponsors, of "Facebook", and the valuation). The company makes nearly no profits and has 2,000 employees, worldwide. Some French journalists surprised CIA employees they personally knew, at Facebook headquarters.
This sort of companies make it big, thanks to the enormous interior American market. A French company had a Facebook like company, but because of the smaller French market, and the lack of market manipulations American VCs are connected with the government for, it made just enough to get its ideas stolen.
Such Silicon Valley companies do not have really state of the art technology. American planners confuse tech superiority and market size. Hence a dangerous illusion, because organized crime tricks do not lead to real tech superiority, as the USSR demonstrated.
