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?

It's not about karma. It's about making sure things I think are worth seeing are seen.

sorry but I am not. this is click on FB photo inside my FB wall.

well, I dont remember but even IF -- why would any application on the site blew up such a huge ad? isnt that affecting FB image?

300x250 is a completely standard advertising size. You'll see similarly sized ones on virtually every site with ads on the web.

Are you new to the web and Facebook or something?

Definitely still not trading. Current time is 11:08AM EST.

Appears to have opened at 42.05 at 11:30AM EST.

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?

Google seems to have a pretty good track record of being a well run, profitable company.

In my opinion anyway, FB still seems to be in the "do something big, figure out how to profit from it later" stage. That's all well and good, but I don't know that it's $130+ per active user good.

How many ad banners are these people going to click? To put this in perspective, the initial valuation of $104B is over 2/3 the entire amount of money spent on all advertising in the US last year ($141B).

First trade at 11:30:09 CST 2000 Shares at $42.05 (SELL)

It's falling fast... $40 atm. Edit: $40 seems to be a barrier (not a surprise). It will take a little while for all the limit orders to be satisfied there.

Seems like a few trading sites are having issues with high traffic levels - not sure if that'd cause an increase OR a decrease :)

It sounds like NASDAQ were having traffic issues. Be interesting to hear the excuse.

Actually most web 2.0 startups and especially social startups will be positively affected from an investment perspect, from a successful facebook start.

And if the FB IPO ends up being perceived as primarily a massive transfer of wealth from enthusiastic well-meaning small investors to the brokers and investment bankers?

Well, that is called playing the stock market.

No, I'm much more concerned with the bets the fund in which my dad's union's retirement pension plan is coming from.
