And yet increasing their revenue 7x still wouldn't let them match Google financially.

What they've achieved is no doubt impressive but there is still a lot to figure out in the model to extract as much as possible from all those users.

Also, Facebook was founded 6 years after Google. I think Facebook is following the same trajectory if not doing better than Google at the time.
