To be honest, I personally think that as long as my pages work fine and look the same on all the major browsers, I’m fine. But for me, it is also very important to properly balance all my tags and try to keep the pages as close to be valid as possible.
But here is something interesting, these are screenshots of my attempt to validate some of the major Internet players such is Google, Facebook, Twitter etc.

It doesn’t look like these guys care either but at the end, it’s up to you to decide if it’s worth it for you to validate your markup and write perfect HTML/XHTML/CSS…

It’s a well known fact that google’s pages don’t validate. They have addressed this and their main argument is that for them it’s more important to keep number of html tags to a minimum in order to keep their pages as small as possible. This is why they don’t add ‘alt’ to images, may omit adding width, height for small images, etc.
Why should Google care anyway, they own the Internet.
