In Sliding Internet Stocks, Some Hear Echo of 2000

Another couple of days like this and the great tech bubble of 2012 might
recede into history.
.
Several companies that were supposed to be the foundation of a new
Internet era plummeted this week as analysts and investors downgraded
their dreams. There were instant echoes of the crash of 2000, when the
money stopped flowing, the dot-coms crumbled and Silicon Valley devolved
into recriminations and lawsuits.
.
Shares of Facebook [FB 23.705 -3.14 (-11.7%) ] stumbled to a new
low Friday after its first earnings report revealed a murky path to any
profit that would justify its lofty valuation. The heavily promoted $100
billion company on the eve of its May debut is now a $65 billion company
and persistently headed south.
.
Zynga [ZNGA 3.085 -0.09 (-2.83%) ], the social games company that
uses Facebook as a platform, was battered even worse on Thursday, leaving
its value at less than a quarter of its peak last winter. Netflix, which
is trying to move from physical discs to streaming video, and the coupon
company Groupon have also been under severe pressure, leaving them at a
fraction of their recent worth.
.
Feelings of disillusionment are far from universal, and came even as The
New York Times reported that Apple [AAPL 585.16 10.28 (+1.79%) ],
the most successful tech company, had been discussing an investment in
Twitter. Social media is flourishing; a billion Facebook and 500 million
Twitter users would vouch for that. But as just about every Internet
company is grappling with the transition to a mobile world, turning groups
of people into cash-generating customers on a hand-held device is clearly
an immense task.
.
Nick Zaharias, an independent consultant who advises institutional
investors, said his clients were infinitely more skeptical.
.
For future deals that are pitched as social deals, he explained, theyre
not going to pay up. The multiples are going to be far, far lower.
