Anyone who knows anything about stocks and IPOs can see this is not going to materialize as hyped. I'm no stock genius, but at surface value, it would appear that they would need to grow their user base or revenues 10 times to perform at the hype elevels you're seeing. Growing the user base by even 2 or 3 times is more than the population of the earth. Lol. And well, growing revenues by ten times? There are only two ways to do that. More impressions and better CTR, whoring the member data further, and more on site aggressive advertising. There is a tolerance threshold on that though. I guess they can start charging a subscription fee monthly for an ad free Facebook. I think it's the next Groupon, even thou their business is completely different. Non tangible stock offerings just don't ever really do well for some reason.
