I don't think that they are that overvalued. To me, better examples are companies that get very high valuations in a short time that aren't justified. Twitter has had significant sustained usage and has monetized somewhat effectively.

Disagree. They got a massive valuation quickly, never made a profit, and have lost much of that value because of it.
