Facebook Behind the hot discussion of IPO, interpret the original intention of starting a user-oriented Internet company

After Steve Jobs, starting from 2013, Fortune will add another heavyweight to the list of leaders with annual salary of one dollar. He majored in psychology at Harvard and was obsessed with computer programming since childhood. His company started from the kitchen table, and every member of the team is a smart person with creative talents. Together they seek ways to make a difference. They are roommates and partners. They weave a web of empty social life that drives countless people crazy. He is Zuckerberg. His Facebook page spread across American campuses in less than a year.

In this extraordinary beginning of the year, turbulent doomsday declarations are in the ascendant, ushering in the most eye-catching and bombshell hot news in the global capital market - Facebook, the first social networking site in the United States, officially submitted an initial public offering application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 2. The market value is expected to reach 100 billion U.S. dollars, and it plans to raise 5 billion U.S. dollars. It is one of the largest Internet company IPOs in history. For a time, 2012 was undoubtedly designated as the year of Facebook’s IPO. People are beginning to adopt new fragmented ways of thinking, communicating, exploring, and researching. Some people compare today's Facebook with yesterday's Google, some recall the explosive Netscape IPO in 1995, and others think of the stock market crash caused by overheated investment in 2001. What impact will this move have on the future technology industry and advertising industry? Can it bring excess growth to California’s fiscal revenue? Is it possible to trigger a new bull market in multiple asset markets? Or, as industry analysts say, it will become a real huge bubble that is about to burst

In any case, Facebook's unique business model is indeed favored by investors. Despite the constant controversies, the entrepreneurial journey of its founder Mark Zuckerberg has still become one of the most popular topics for reprinting. Recalling the feast of the 68th American TV and Movie Golden Globe Awards in Hollywood last year, the movie "The Social Network" based on Mark Zuckerberg's founding of Facebook won three heavyweight awards and became the biggest winner of the Golden Globe Awards in the industry. One reviewer said that the biggest problem with this movie is: "Its choice between reality and dramatization seems very difficult and conservative. It is not completely fictional, but you can hardly say that this movie is a documentary." If a work makes you constantly examine and reflect on yourself after watching it, it is undoubtedly a success. What is Zuckerberg’s original intention for starting a user-oriented Internet company? Is it really like in the movie where 'a beauty becomes a beauty in anger'? Is his entrepreneurial history worth learning from his peers around the world?
