Facebook IPO: Follow Up
A look through different media vehicles

Blog:
For the third straight day, Facebook stock has fallen. According to Gizmodo, the blog says that “Facebook’s stock continues to suck harder than a Northwestern University freshman on a 5-foot bong in his profile pic.” Today the stock did not do well as “our own lives were literally put on sale.” According to the blog, Facebook IPO was playing in favor of big investment firms and not the public: “‘Facebook was whispering in the ears of the lead managers of its investment banks, on the understanding that the results of those whispers would remain available only to select clients until after the IPO was over,’ writes Reuters' Felix Salmon.” This extremely bias moves seems to play against Facebook’s bigger picture: “It was built to accomplish a social mission.”  

Social Media:
For those wishing to buy Facebook shares. Youtube has a plethora of “How To” videos that discuss possible ways of how to go about and buy Facebook stock.  The site allows for one to comment and ask questions regarding Facebook stock.  If investing money seems to be a scary thing, it is probably an accurate feeling.  The YouTube “vlog” gives comfort and wisdom on how to purchase and maintain Facebook stock.
