Deshpande ji, you may undermine FB and Twitter, but ask the people of Egypt and Arab, these very products ignited the revolution.

If you are talking about facebook and twitter alone, you should not fear. The reason is simple, Facebook and Twitter are already business behind businesses. Facebook is already a big on marketing business and twitter is big on news broadcasting. They are here to stay as businesses need both of them for their presence.

I think one can invest in social networking sites provided one studies the content and viewership.

Yes it is good to invest in social networking sites like Facebook, twitter, linked in etc. But it should be no at this point of time since the price of advertising is very high. Say for example, the Facebook,s T.O is $ 27 billion p.a. as of now. The prices will crash or to come to the actual pricing may be within next two to three years then it will be ripe to invest in such social networking sites.

That could be a yes and a no. It all depends on what's the mission, visions and goals are in investing in social sites. Sometimes this can be a risky investment but sometimes worth a try.Then again, you might want to avoid this investment all together. ~Management Consultant: CEO Business Management Solutions www.CEOBusinessManagementSolutions.com

I Totally agree with Amrita,Its extremely a daunting task to value the stake of social Networking sites & At the same time to invest in S.N.S's may be a good option,but Having an option of free Job-postings sites,Bulk mailing,Free advertisements and many more adds Cherry on the cake,rather than investing on social sites.

Amrita, Investment itself require a unique strategy. If we are going for long term investment we should avoid some sector if they are over-valued. Media, Securities, companies who are doing trading(export/import) only etc are coming under volatility part of market or known as momentum shares. So every investor invest their money in those scrips for short term period to earn huge profit but not for long term because the factors of these companies can change in short span period of time.....

Besides, the Behavioral pattern of the mass , Just imagine what will happen to your social net-work & subsequently, the Business.
- Like Egypt, if countries blocked the services including mobile (possibilities are more, Yemen,Jordan, Bahrain, Libya etc.)
- If there is a Net-work problem occurs frequently( may be hardware / software problem recurring-Twitter & FB had/ has. Also, communication development may not be suitable for the present infrastructure. Mean the Hard & soft ware may go unsuitable for application)
- If the Site is blocked by the Govt. say,as China did for Google &Gulf for many porno site etc.

Principally agree with Amrita's argument. But social net working sites are basically for exchange of views and report on matters to common interest. These sites of late have become platform for propagating products, making recommendation. Mr Warren Buffet is great visionary and philanthropist. His investment is only on industries generating capital.For him investment on SNWS is shear wast of money.

Mr. Buffet always tell people (investors) to be careful in making investments and doing money transaction. I remember, he always deny about using credit cards. Social networking is powerful but there are lots of hidden things there too! Biggest thing is the huge amount of fake profiles.
