NEWS: FACEBOOK TO GO PUBLIC (STOCK MARKET)

We all knew he'd eventually get around to it: Mark Zuckerberg is expected to finally bring Facebook public. The company is reported to be preparing to file for an IPO -- initial public offering -- through which anyone will be able to buy shares of the social networking company on an open stock exchange.


This news my seem totally irrelevant to you, however, in my opinion, this is probably the best news Facebook has announced since Zukerberg started the social media platform in his dorm, at Harvard. Essentially, this means that the company will (finally) be ran more business-like, which means no more up-dating the look of the site every 25 seconds (if Facebook ever switches my profile to timeline I'm deleting my profile.) However, most importantly, this news means that Facebook will now be available in the open market exchange, which means savvy investors (hopefully like myself) will be able to get their hands involved in this cash-cow we all know as Facebook.
