Facebook sucks out loud! EVERYTIME I get a message from someone wanting me to confirm them as a friend, I can’t do it because there is an error on the page. I can login and click on Confirm 1,000,000 times, but it NEVER works. This has been going on for weeks and weeks, and I get no help from facebook. I know of nobody else with this problem. I have sent facebook the error message and they do nothing. I know this does not pertain to the story here, but contacting facebook is more trouble than it is worth. They have no Contact Us to click on, so they obviously do not want anyone bothering them with the facebook problems that exist. I just hate that people I have not seen in over 30 years may think that I want nothing to do with them when it is the crappy facebook page that will not allow me to confirm them.

By all accounts, Sheryl Sandberg is a real horror. Combine that with Zuck’s inexperience and complete lack of personality including presumably a backbone and the idea of FaceBook going public is even more ludicrous than it was yesterday when everybody found out they were Barack Obama’s cousin.

Interesting angle but alas unless you are one of the primary participants or have direct access to them, it is speculation at best. I don’t follow the logic leap that the departure of a CFO, when replaced by someone more experienced and with IPO experience, is reflective of executive turmoil or a revolving door. @smokejumper (twitter)

Interesting comments here… As another point of view though, isn’t business about creating customers?.. Yes, operating capital and profits surely count, but really, customers are the bottom line. Is all of this affecting the masses using Facebook for their social networking? I’d love to hear your thoughts on that side of the coin. Until later ;) NextLeesa

Yeah, but the way Mark’s been running things there is not good for a public company. The stock price will tank if it can not keep executives. Look at how the markets reacting to the littlest of news either way these days. People look for a reason to sell, don’t give them one.

[...] Technologizer.com reports: “Reportedly, Yu left the company immediately after a meeting, symbolistic of Zuckerberg’s apparent “you’re with me or against me” mentality. But the way Facebook framed the departure is troubling”.. “Zuckerberg needs to learn if he wants to take his company public that investors do not like turmoil. The revolving door of executives at Facebook will make investors uneasy, and reluctant to invest in the company.” Share this: [...]

I don’t think it’s an “age thing” exclusively, I know the CEO at the corp where I worked until recently, Landry’s Restaurants, surrounded himself with “yes men” (and he’s in his late 40′s)

The problem with Facebook is the business model; they target teenagers, unlike Linkedin, which targets adults.
