As soon as Facebook filed the papers for its initial public offering with the Securities Exchange Commission, thousands of people began pouring over the publicly posted documents, bringing the SEC’s website to its knees.
The several-hundred-page document is bound to be some heavy reading, but Facebook spiced it up with screenshots and diagrams to explain its business mission and how it plans to raise $5 billion for this IPO. Most of the graphics were informative, and explained how Facebook has made its money.

Facebook users on IPO
With Facebook's announcement Wednesday that it will become a publicly traded company, lots of folks were talking about it.
On Facebook.
The company filed Wednesday to raise $5 billion in an initial public offering. Most analysts predict that Facebook's valuation will ultimately fall somewhere between $85 billion and $100 billion.
Those staggering numbers had Facebook users -- those whose privacy settings defaulted to public -- largely pondering one major school of thought: "Wow, that's a lot of money."
"$5 billion IPO for Facebook?!?!? What the hell am I doing on Facebook???" wrote a user named Jeff Pantridge. "Screw this... I'm making Jeffbook. I should have something whipped up in an hour. Friend me, follow me... Whatever ... . It's time to get paid."
Facebook user Michael John Chaves pondered what the big-dollar opening says about careers in the tech industry.
"Hmm to become a hardware engineer or software engineer?" he wrote. "Facebook's IPO expected to create between 500 and 1,000 millionaires among employees. Soo the answer is: Software Engineer."
Gregory Luis Martinez had more humble ambitions.
"Anybody want to split a share 10 ways?" he joked.
Other users predicted a flood of would-be investors.
"I expect people will be crawling over each other to invest after the Facebook IPO," wrote Adam Saunders. "It will be interesting to see whether Facebook can match the expectations that will come along with its new, and likely obscenely high, valuation."
Mostly, however, the big financial news inspired a lot of wry observations.
"Ironically Facebook could be dealing [with] the same problem with public scrutiny after the IPO as most of us do when deciding what to post on Facebook," wrote user Mark Glaser.
User Larry Scudder lobbed this one: "With facebook becoming a public traded company and making everyone go to the stupid timelines, what are the odds of it going the way of myspace?"
Well ... at its peak, Newscorp paid (some would say overpaid) $580 million for Myspace. That's hundreds of millions less than what Facebook earned just last year. And we don't see Facebook being sold for a paltry $35 million -- as Myspace was last year -- anytime soon.
Facebook earned $1 billion last year on sales of $3.7 billion. The site said it now has more than 845 million daily active users.
And that's the number that had user Phillip Pambrun thinking that maybe Facebook should spread the wealth a little. He even encouraged users to take their case to CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
"Ok, so. Facebook is about to IPO in a moment. Am I the only person that thinks every Facebook member should receive at least 1 share at initial post?If it wasn't for all of you loyal and faithful Facebookers, this would never have gotten this far. So, everyone, message the high "Z" for your minimum 1 share. Lol! "

Facebook Announces $5 Billion IPO -
News of a Facebook IPO has me intrigued. Too bad I wont have the cash to buy the stock when it comes out. For anyone that does, buy as much of it as you can and hold it for about a week or two, when the markets cool off, sell ! sell ! sell ! and reap the benefits of capital gains (only have to pay taxes on 50% of what you make)

Knowledge Journal 2012:
Day 32: On this day I learned about Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg's personal philosophy regarding his company. I'm glad I have lived to have the Facebook experience. It has connected me with family, friends and so many different people that have added to my quality of life. He also confirmed that it is focusing on the goal that matters. And the goal has to represent a higher mission than just making money. Zuckerberg will become even richer than he already is but it is nice to know that he will use it to further his mission which if you read the article below, is a very good one.

A Clarification from Mitt Romney
About Poor People
LA JOLLA, CA (The Borowitz Report) – Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney today released the following letter to the American people:
Dear American People:
Yesterday, comments I made about poor people made me look terrible. This always seems to happen when I say what I really believe.
The fact is, I do care about poor people. That’s because I’m poor myself, when you compare me to Mark Zuckerberg.
According to most projections, Facebook’s IPO should net Mr. Zuckerberg a personal fortune of $28 billion. I couldn’t make a pile of dough-re-mi like that even if I fired people twenty-four hours a day.
Now, let’s take a look at Mitt Romney’s net worth: a measly $200 million. Now do you see why I consider myself poor? Compared to Mark Zuckerberg, Mitt Romney is practically a crack whore.
Now, I’m not going to sit here and envy a rich person like Mark Zuckerberg. That’s exactly what President Obama wants poor people like me to do. Mark Zuckerberg made his money fair and square, by creating useful products like imaginary sheep and angry birds. Say what you will about Facebook, it has totally revolutionized the way we waste our lives.
The fact is, if you’re poor in America, you should do what Mark Zuckerberg did: create a social network. I’ve just started my own, called TwoFaceBook. With TwoFaceBook, your profile doesn’t stay the same for more than two seconds.
In closing, there’s one more reason I don’t worry about poor people. They have Groupons.
Vote for me,
Mitt Romney
