What An Antitrust Case Against Google Might Look Like

I'm curious, do you know when Andreessen said that? Because two years ago I would've believed it, but now I just don't buy it.

Beacon was supposed to be their adsense and look how that turned out. I don't doubt facebook's potential, but I do doubt that there's a switch that they're just waiting for some magic user count to flip.

...when Andreesen said that?

About 10 days ago, in the Charlie Rose interview. TechCrunch has a transcript:

Thanks for that.

According to Alexa, Yahoo gets a little less than twice Facebook's traffic. Yahoo's revenue for 2008 was $7.22B. So yeah, $1B+ for Facebook from conventional ads is probably reasonable.
