An IPO is designed to make as much capital as possible for the company, 90% of these shares went to corporate investors. Of course the price will drop a bit, but then it will go up and down, the same as any company on the stock market. You could at least do some basic research before laughing about it.

Woody woodpecker laugh.

I won't be surprised to see FB drop down to what it really is... a $5b-$10b company. Maybe they keep rolling snake eyes, but I doubt it, as their popularity is not based on technical achievement or any real wow factor, but on being less annoying than the other guys. That is a terrible thing to be popular for when you go public. Maybe the users won't get annoyed at all the new attempts at revenue growth that are forthcoming, but it would sure be nice to have a technical or wow factor advantage... instead of only being less annoying.

They aren't doing Zynga any favors lately.
