The Net Giants' Market Caps

This one is worth commented and stored... It's about the map of the net/tech giants market capitalization. I like reading things like this, it sort of inspires me to move further. There's no limit out there, you have your imagination, go grab them, why worry limiting myself all the time...?

Google's market cap at around $151.8 billion, compared with Yahoo's $36.2 billion, eBay's $46.4 billion and Amazon.com's $17.6 billion. Among traditional media companies, Disney's market cap is about $69.1 billion and Time Warner's is $81.1 billion. However, Google's market cap is still a far cry from the $289.7 billion Microsoft boasts.

Plus...

Google's share price neared $500 Thursday, Nov 16 2006, analysts were unfazed by the fact that the search king's market capitalization is greater than its three biggest Internet rivals combined and about double that of media companies Walt Disney and Time Warner.


Gee... I remember reviewing similar figures years ago in Net boom, it's even bigger and got a huge potential to move far forward. Wanna join the ride? Or... just sit back and relax, why bother...? Hick...

Comparing it with my country's central government budget, Indonesia, if I'm not mistaken, has a 2006 annual total budget of $50 billion. This is for around 250 million people. Sometimes, it's just so annoying to see how capitalism has brought us this far today...
