@2002 I wasn't even addressing the shareholders suing over the IPO. I understand perfectly how the IPO works and Mark's percentage of ownership. What I'm trying to say is that, now that they're public, the general public will be focusing on their revenue. No, a company isn't controlled by public opinion, but buying and selling of a stock often is. You're also right about shareholders looking for an excuse to make money, and those very shareholders will expect Facebook to monetize further. Whether they do or not is, as you pointed out, Zuck's decision ultimately, I personally think the pressure from public will weigh heavy on the decisions made moving forward. Especially with the stock price at the mercy of investors.
