They have what, 400 million registered accounts?
So that works out to $125 per registered (free) account. Ya, I'd say that's a bit inflated.
I could see $10 per account as realistic, which would give a $4 billion valuation.
They got traffic, a ridiculously low bounce rate, and high levels of user interaction. And they're going after search. It'll look like a steal 10 years from now.
It's the most visited website in the world, and has more private information on people than every other site on the Internet combined - how is that an inflated price? How much would you value owning a person's online identity at?
It is just a fad. I give it 3 months tops 
seriously 50Bil is a drop in the ocean for the potential marketing information let lone the benefits it offers to its users.
