Future of Engagement – Monitoring Social Media on the Eve of the Facebook IPO Launch
Last Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Facebook could be going public within seven days. Murray Newlands’ series The Future of Engagement analyzes how this story spread across social media:
TRACKING TRENDS
Highlights:
- The term “Facebook IPO” was a trend on Twitter less than a day after the WSJ Facebook IPO story went live
- Over half of “Facebook IPO” social media mentions were on Twitter, showing how important the microblogging site is for breaking news.
- In the 24-hour timespan after the WSJ post went live, Twitter’s mentions for that term grew eightyfold – to over 800 posts.

Yah it’s right facebook is growing very fast.and now it’s launches it’s new feature IPO.it will make facebook more secure.
Based on a quick read of their S-1, they have 800 million plus members who log on to the site at least once every 30 days. That’s impressive. They simply do social networking better than anyone else. That has to be a pretty easy sell to companies trying to advertise. They’ve just in the last 3 years started tapping into that with advertising revenue and app sales. We’re eagerly awaiting Facebook’s IPO papers, which are expected sometime this week. Everyone wants to know exactly how profitable the social network is, how fast revenues are growing and what the company’s valuation will be.

Facebook is growing. The first thing that came in my mind when I read this news once facebook do its Initial Public Offering (IPO) it will soon become too commercialized and less user-friendly social network.

I’m excited to see how Facebook is going to interact with the cloud-computing movement because in a way they’re already a cloud-storage company by allowing you to store a seemingly endless amount of personal photos on their servers in high quality. If they will go and allow you to upload other documents as well into their servers that are under your name (maybe https?) then it’ll be interesting to see how this impacts the online storage industry!

It will definitely be interesting to see how Facebook fares from here on out. Obviously, they will have to be more open about their tactics, some of which have drawn criticisms for privacy violation.
