This is like a NASCAR race, many (most?) of us watching secretly hope for a spectacular crash. It's wrong, but the potential of schadenfreude is very tempting.

Heard on CNBC: "This is the TV business news equivalent of a car chase."

It's weird how I posted the exact same thing with a slightly different URL two hours ago and it went unnoticed: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3991295 edit: Not complaining. It seemed like an interesting accidental split test.

ok, so this started happening last night for me and some friends I pinged: I clicked on a picture (multiple of them!) and each time I see this shit: http://postimage.org/image/rvdiya58z/full/ I say Facebook IS in a lot of financial troubles!!

Uh, you're on some third-party app, not Facebook's native photo system.

I'm guilty of wishing FB a bit of schaden myself, but if they actually have a business on their hands and the market reflects that in the coming months and years, the effect is that access to capital for all of us will not be a problem for the next decade. Think of the effect that the Google IPO has had on access to angel and other investment capital. Two of my angels are former Googlers and my previous business was…

I think if most wishes it to tank, its not because of envy, but rather because we all see how people lose control over their private data in the name of chilling out with friends on the cool website. This is extremely sweet candy that feels so good right now, but eventually you will throw up and have cavities. To me a wake-up call was a huge investment that FB accepted from DST.

So are we rooting for the fall of Google, too?

Luck is something that happens to people who seek it out. I get better results when I post at the times all these analytical tools say is best.

I've been chatting on HN and posting links for a year or two now, but I still haven't figured out what I gain by a higher karma. Sure, it's a tiny treat to see your link get popular or your number get a bit higher. But am I missing something?
