Howard Hughes Capital Group is a company that’s very often compared to Google and Facebook. (I’m not sure if this is because we’re related or because Facebook and Google are both owned by Facebook’s Alphabet division.) And while they may be similar in scale (for example, both company profiles have about 350 pages under them), they’re not quite the same. Google is a search engine and Facebook is a social network.
The two companies are very different because of the different ways they operate. Google has a massive amount of money and a ton of money to spend. Facebook owns several properties and has a ton of money to burn. Facebook has a huge amount of money to burn because of its very profitable social network. Google makes money by making money. Facebook makes money by making money.
If Amazon or eBay make more money than Google, this is no longer the case. Google makes money by making money. Amazon makes money by making money. eBay makes money by making money. Facebook makes money by keeping the world on fire. Google makes money by making money.
Facebook makes money because it can get people to buy stuff they don’t need. Google makes money because it doesn’t make money. Amazon makes money because it doesn’t make money. eBay makes money because it doesn’t make money. Facebook makes money because it makes money.
Google is a company that makes money by making money and Amazon is a company that makes money by making money. It’s a double whammy. I want to buy a book. Amazon wants me to buy a book. Google wants to sell me a book. Facebook wants to sell me a book. eBay wants to sell me a book. Amazon wants to sell me a book. Google wants to sell me a book. Facebook wants to sell me a book. eBay wants to sell me a book.
Amazon wants to sell me a book because they make money by making money. Google wants to sell me a book because they make money by making money and Facebook wants to sell me a book because they make money by making money. It is the same principle. If there is something that makes money, then we all need to do something for it.
