Facebook IPO

"The graffiti artist who took Facebook stock instead of cash for painting the walls of the social network’s first headquarters made a smart bet. The shares owned by the artist, David Choe, are expected to be worth upward of $200 million when Facebook stock trades publicly later this year.

The payout to Mr. Choe, the graffiti artist, could provide more money from his paintings than Sotheby’s attracted for its record-breaking $200.7 million auction in 2008 for work by the artist Damien Hirst.

In 2005, Mr. Choe was invited to paint murals on the walls of Facebook’s first offices in Palo Alto, Calif., by Sean Parker, then Facebook’s president. As pay, Mr. Parker offered Mr. Choe a choice between cash in the "thousands of dollars," according to several people who know Mr. Choe, or stock then worth about the same amount.

Mr. Choe, who has said that at the time that he thought the idea of Facebook was "ridiculous and pointless," nevertheless chose the stock.

Many "advisers" to the company at that time, which is how Mr. Choe would have been classified, would have received about 0.1 to 0.25 percent of the company, according to a former Facebook employee. That may sound like a paltry amount, but a stake that size is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, based on a market value of $100 billion. Mr. Choe’s payment is valued at roughly $200 million, according to a number of people who know Mr. Choe and Facebook executives."

Apple

have pretty much just released a new everything. To my mind are still great but are going a bit nuts in terms of amount of products, frequency of updates and quality control problems.

FB Usernames

So Facebook requires pages to have at least 25 fans in order to attain a username for the page. I figure QBN might be able to help us do this for clients, since there are at least 25 of us here with FB accounts.

So, here's my thought. Any link that you post here -- and please only post links to authentic clients -- that need user names, the rest of us will become a fan of the page, in exchange for doing so for others.

If you're cool with that, please start with my current client:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/My…

And, I'm happy to return the favor anytime you like.
