[Jerry Michalski]

Howdy! 

This is just a reminder, since our new format makes the inter-call gaps seem loooong. Please join us for what should be a great discussion today. 

We start in about an hour. 

Cheers,

Jerry

Greetings,

It probably won't make the Earth wobble on its axis, but Facebook's huge pending IPO is making waves among investors, the technorati and others.

Facebook is already a major force in many domains as it races toward its first billion members -- a seventh of the population on the planet. It's become expert at stretching privacy boundaries (heard of passive sharing?).

With Al Chang, Paul Kedrosky, David Blumenstein, Jorgen van der Sloot and Stuart Henshall, let's discuss:

• What effects will the IPO have across the industry?
• How might Facebook use the proceeds? Acquisitions?
• Is it really worth more than Disney and GM?
• What might be the path of Facebook's downfall?

As always, an IRC chat will be available during the call at #yitan.

We tweet as @yitan (and use #yitan as our hashtag). Please follow us on Twitter. This page is on the web here.

Date: Monday, 2012-02-06

Time: 10:30am Pacific, 1:30pm Eastern

Dial: 1-270-400-1500, passcode 778778

Jerry, FYI, I really wanted to make this Yi-Tan but had to make an unexpected trip to Salt Lake City last week to help Craig (long story), and thus was totally swamped this morning.

I would have liked to have chimed in about the open alternative... ;-)

Talk soon,
