Facebook and the Stock Market

There has been rumors about an IPO for Facebook recently that have caused quite the stir. The biggest concern is user compatibility. Right now, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is focused on giving users the greatest experience possible and that includes creativity. This is one of the issues that people have if Facebook were to go public because then the focus would shift towards revenue streaming. Josh Constine, who is a writer for TechCrunch says this will lead to more ads popping up when browsing the website, this takes away from the user experience and creates a hassle. Once Facebook goes profit, there would be an immense pressure from stockholders to drive profits up and this will create new features on Facebook but not for the everyday user.

As a user of Facebook, would you advise Facebook to go public?
