Just got offered to buy Common Shares of @facebook at $25 each. How many outstanding shares of FB are there?

According to a recent article on TechCrunch, there are approximately 2.5 billion outstanding shares of Facebook on SecondMarket.

Many. How many should you buy?0 or 50.1% Because no one is interested in facebook or their ethics. Seriously jason, you should buy as many as possible and then when you get on the facebook board, ask them to make their platform 100% open source!

Mark Zuckerbugger is now on the nice little waren buffet billionaire list. If he is so interested in helping other people in the world, why all of the closed platforms? The entire operation is now hell bent on being a boiler room operation, they are goading developers to develop as many facebook applications inside of facebook as possible, then turning around and acquiring them.

I'm truly surprised the department of just or the canadian privacy commission isn't investigating them for anti trust violations at this point. The company everyone should be looking at is Diaspora, the first 100% open source social network!

...$25 / $40 Billion = 160,000,000 shares outstanding. (I hope I'm right...) -Giri International Philanthropy.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
