This article might not be necessarily related to this week's topics, but I found it to be really inspiring. I won't reveal too much, just enjoy it! The Temptation of Facebook
That is incredible. When Mark Zuckerberg showed up in Palo Alto three years ago, he had no car, no house, and no job and today he is turning down billion-dollar offers.
In less than two years, the two reigning Web 2.0 titans have sold out to major corporations: MySpace accepted $580 million to join News Corp., and YouTube took $1.5 billion from Google. SharesPost, a marketplace for trading in private companies, said that Facebook's shares are worth $11.5 billion. Facebook's CEO must be planning something that is bigger and better than getting billions like changing the world. :)
