So this article assumes Google is going to stay flat the next 5 years at 28 billion? Facebook has a lot of catching up to do, but Google isn't planning to sit on its thumbs AFAIK.
As a company, Google is way more important than Facebook. Facebook connects people, something that isn't difficult to do in ten other ways with 100s of different services. Google on the other hand seems to be really trying to change the world. Much like the Virgin Group.
Once the Facebook IPO happens, they would have more than enough cash to do anything they want. Which I hope is more inline with these other companies. Going outside their comfort zone and into entirely different industries to use their wealth and resources to make a more impactful difference.
