Really nice infographic.

They make so much money, but still don’t have enough server power. They have a lot to learn from good ol’ Google…

Why will Facebook’s IPO start now? I thought they had done that at the initial stages of the company, such as most do.. no?

That’s raising venture capital. IPOing is basically taking the company public by releasing shares that people can buy to become shareholders. That’s the gist of it at least.

Facebook has a lot of value but I’m not sure that value is worth $100 billion.

It’s ironic how the founder of Napster still ended up a billionaire.

I know what IPO is, thus I thought it should have happened a while ago.
