It took me a while to work out whether this was meant to be sarcasm or serious.
Re: ... what is your conclusion?
In the Financial Universe / Current Kind, the difference has vanished.
>"sarcasm or serious"
It's neither. It's satire, which is best delivered with an absolutely straight face as seen here.
From the facebook POV, I would say it's resounding success. They sold something for a lot more then it was worth and walked away with the cash, laughing. I call that a sucessfull buisness deal
Successful? Really?
Market Cap of USD104bn on the day of the IPO...Market Cap of USD59bn right now.
Stock price down over 25% from its high. Way to go Sparky!!
Opinion
This is the most ego-centric, self congratulatory & badly written piece of prose i have read for quite some time.

Re: Good gawd/ess, ElReg ...
Hmm, I thought it seemed to be improving a little. Though admittedly from a rather low base.
Re: Good gawd/ess, ElReg ...
More appropriate grade is F-- "MUST BE FORCEFULLY REFRAINED FROM TRYING!! Find other occupation if possible, else discard!"
It's Verity Stob
The next generation.
Well - they do say sequels aren't usually as good.
Re: It's Verity Stob
Nah. Stob has clues. This idiot apparently doesn't.
Re: It's Verity Stob
You mean placing it in Bootnotes, the way it was written, the location of his VC company and the obviously implausible content of the article itself wasn't enough for you?
I agree, it *IS* 100% style
