OP I dont know why you would think one company valued at 2-3x revenues might be the start of another bubble.
[/ QUOTE ]
Because revenues aren't inherently worth anything. If they're cashflow negative with 500 mil in revenue who the hell cares?

I'm curious how it's even possible to spend $500M operating facebook.

it's easy. you pay freshly minted college grads $90k and hire devs from google/ms/yahoo by offering them ludicrous salaries.

even with 1000 employees (and i'm sure they have a fraction of this) at these salaries, that still doesn't cover $500m

They're not spending $500 mil. That's got to be a number based on recent history/projections. There's no way they've made even 10% of that in the last year.
