Well you can sign into your games using facebook, but thats pretty much a facebook cookie that gets tracked. Its like shopping on ebay, and then going to half.com. You can use the same login for them, but the funds are kept seperate. Ebay/half might be a bad choice because ebay owns half, but I hope that helps explain it.
That helped...thanks!

Just keep waiting till the stock drops to $9-$10 bucks or less then pick it up cheap and sell it for a small profit...Remember buy low & sell high and never buy a IPO on a company that neither makes, sells or builds anything.
If that includes Google, then you lost out in doubling your money 7 or so times.
That is an interesting comparison. I still wonder generally about the effectiveness of internet ads. I feel like I have just learned to tune them out and have never clicked on one on purpose.
I also wonder if Zuckerberg is in it for the long haul or if he will just take the money and run. He has to know that the long term viability of Facebook is limited.
Zuckerberg sold 30.2 million shares at a price of $37.58 for gross proceeds of $1.13 billion; Thiel sold 16.8 million shares for gross proceeds of $633 million
That's not surprising, what exactly does Facebook produce? When was last you went to the store and bought a Facebook product. Has anybody ever seen a facebook factory?
Yeah, who ever heard of a successful services company? /sarcasm
It depends on how you look at this IPO. If you look at it from the perspective of Zuckerberg and his elite cohorts, it was wildly successful. If you look at it from the standpoint of the muppets who ate this thing up in the retail market, then obviously it wasn't.
Honestly, playing the IPO market is basically just roulette - it's not "investing" in the traditional sense of the word.

Facebook (like Google) is an advertising company. That's how they make their money, and they make quite a bit of it.
Are you saying Facebook doesn't sell anything? How does it make money then?
Facebook sells your information...

Repeat after me: Facebook is a business, its job is to make money. Now, go check your Facebook privacy settings and see how you’re helping this Internet tsunami sweep through your life and contacts to add to their coffers.
That’s the message that’s being spread far and wide these days by Web security experts who believe most users of the social networking site have no idea how their activities on the site are being used in the marketplace.
