Excerpt from [L2 ThinkTank](http://www.l2inc.com/aswath-damodaran-on-social-media-valuations/2015/blog) -- "When Facebook first went public, I valued it as a Google wanna-be -- a company that if it was like Google would be a success. … When I value Facebook today, I no longer value it as a Google wanna-be. … Google is going to be the Facebook wanna-be in this market." -- [Aswath Damodaran](http://www.stern.nyu.edu/faculty/bio/aswath-damodaran)
