FIU hosted a panel discussion on May 8 covering Facebook’s upcoming initial public offering (IPO) and its implications.
University experts from a wide array of academic fields – including business, law, engineering, communication and medicine – discussed what to expect in the coming months as the world’s largest social media site goes public. The panel was moderated by Jane Wooldridge, the business editor of The Miami Herald, and streamed live on the Web, where participants from as far as Germany tuned in.

Will be following this development of Facebook IPO very closely. Lets see how the public behaves with this one. Do we have another Google / Apple / Microsoft in the making here?
No. Long term viability of Facebook is horrible. Google offers a wide variety of services…ask yourself…if Facebook offered email, file sharing, etc…would you trust them? Or place anything on there with full confidence they won’t steal it?
I know artists that won’t post pictures on Facebook because of intellectual property rights…
Facebook offers one service and that service is entertainment. A nice distraction while using the bathroom, waiting for your friends at the bar, playing some mobile games or keeping contact in a post AOL Messenger world.
There are better places to invest your cash and bargains are everywhere since 2008.
