techcrunch.com— This means no more "leaks" of Facebook's revenue numbers to spike its valuation in secondary markets. No more banal and vague conversations about how Facebook is "killing it" at San Francisco bars.

I wonder how much everyone will lose on these bulls**t stocks for the internet should the power ever go out for a while or for good , then look who's holding the money?LMAO! Biggest con s**t invented!
Hm? They earned (had net income of) $1 billion and they are estimated to be valued at $100 billion.
My question is, why do they even need an IPO? I know they have to 'go public' once they have too many shareholders. That is, they have to start releasing information to the public. But is there any real benefit to selling off so much of the company? Do they really have $5 billion worth of projects they are itching to invest in?
With this money they plan on buying out new start ups or perhaps investing in start ups. But no, dont invest. Something about the "dot-com" bubble is reminiscent.

This one's made sense. Having those figures shows how it really affects a lot of users specially those who are in small businesses.

10X multiple value on earning? Seems a bit rich.

smells fishy to me! especially with continued growth in 2008-2009 when everyone else are busting their balls..

Once they figured out what it is, they were able to push revenue up at a fast pace.
