If your company was worth $104 billion, what would your Facebook status be?
On Friday, May 18, Facebook began publicly trading on Wall Street; initial offerings were at $38 per share, giving Facebook a valuation of around $104 billion - the largest-ever IPO for a tech company and the third largest in history.
Shortly after the opening of trade, Mark Zuckerberg, who rang the opening bell for the stock exchange Friday, took to Facebook to post a public update on his timeline, which simply read "Mark Zuckerberg listed a company on NASDAQ. - with Chris Cox and 4 others."
Then a description of the site "Founded in 2004, Facebook's mission is to make the world more open and connected. People use Facebook to stay connected with friends and family, to discover what's going on in the world, and to share and express what matters to them."
In addition to Facebook employee Chris Cox, the four others listed were Facebook employees Cipora Herman, Dave King, David Ebersman and Facebook's Chief Operating Office Sheryl Sandberg.
The post recieved 214 'likes' and 18 'comments' in less than 60 minutes.
