Facebook needs Zynga just as much as Zynga needs Facebook. Zuckerberg owns a WHOPPING 533,801,850 shares — that’s 28.2% of the company. And because he controls 30.6% of the voting shares via proxy, he has full control over decisions. The next biggest shareholders: Accel Partners (11.4%), co-founder Dustin Moskovitz (7.6%), DST (5.4%) and Peter Thiel (2.5%). Sheryl Sandberg only owns 1.9 million shares. That’s barely a blip on the radar. Peter Thiel owns 22x that amount. Facebook has 2.7 BILLION likes and comments every single day. That is nearly a trillion interactions per year. 845 million monthly active users, 483 million of them are daily active users. Those numbers are up 38% and 48% from the year before respectively. $3.7 billion in revenue last year. In 2009, it was “just” $777 million in revenue. Facebook has $3.8 billion in cash on hand. That’s a big chunk of change 83% of Facebook’s revenue came from advertising. In 2010, that number was 90% Zuckerberg has a salary of $500k, while COO Sheryl Sandberg and CFO David Ebersman take in $300k. http://benparr.com/2012/02/facebook-ipo-2/ http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/sentence/329413 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:57:11 +0100 seanw facebook ipo http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/sentence/329411 http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/sentence/329411 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:49:58 +0100 seanw facebook ipo http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/sentence/329409 Here’s another way that Mark Zuckerberg is following his idol Steve Jobs: He will have a $1 salary, starting in 2013. According to Facebook’s S-1 filing for its $5 billion IPO, in the first quarter of this year (which presumably means sometime in January) Zuckerberg requested that his base salary be reduced to $1 per year, effective January 1, 2013. His 2011 base salary was $500,000, and he also received a $220,500 bonus for the first half of the year. The S-1 also lists $783,529 in “other compensation”, which includes $692,679 for “costs related to personal use of aircraft chartered in connection with his comprehensive security program and on which family and friends flew during 2011″ Of course, Zuckerberg’s real compensation is his 28 percent stake in the company. http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/sentence/329409 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:49:56 +0100 seanw facebook ipo http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/sentence/329407 http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/sentence/329407 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:40:57 +0100 seanw facebook ipo http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/sentence/329405 http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/sentence/329405 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:38:50 +0100 seanw facebook ipo http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/video/329053 http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/video/329053 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:25:04 +0100 seanw http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/sentence/329051 http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/sentence/329051 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:23:45 +0100 seanw http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/sentence/328927 The Interior Ministry said Tuesday that thousands of South Sudan nationals must leave Israel or face deportation. http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/sentence/328927 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:02:41 +0100 seanw israel sudan http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/sentence/328925 Mossad chief Tamir Pardo held secret talks with top U.S. officials in recent days, cursory comments made during a public Senate hearing indicated on Tuesday. http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/sentence/328925 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:01:22 +0100 seanw iran israel mossade nuclear war http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/sentence/328603 http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/sentence/328603 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:33:07 +0100 seanw http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/video/328175 http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/video/328175 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 23:14:45 +0100 seanw davos http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/image/328173 Three topless Ukrainian protesters were detained Saturday while trying to break into an invitation-only gathering of international CEOs and political leaders to call attention to the needs of the world’s poor.

Facebook’s lack of popularity in Japan is old news, though. Japanese participants in a study last year said they thought Facebook was less secure and more complicated to use than the alternatives. Also, we have to remember the Japanese culture values anonymity — a commodity you won’t find anywhere on Facebook, which is committed to real-world name usage and pictures of users rather than avatars. On Twitter, anonymity is not a problem; in fact, some of the most politically and socially interesting uses of the network have required anonymity, and Twitter allows and encourages such uses. http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/image/322039 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 12:00:49 +0100 seanw facebook twitter social network japan http://www.kweeper.com/seanw/sentence/322027 According to stats from comScore, Japan sends around 25 million monthly unique visitors to Twitter.
