It’s summer time. Vacation’s coming up. Of course, you’re taking your
iPhone with you; how could you exist without it, now that you have one?
But won’t you have to take your camera as well? Admit it; it’s not
that easy to manipulate the iPhone to take photos or videos. Unless…
you have an iPhone Shutter Grip.
Being left behind on the mobile landscape has motivated countless
bloggers and techie prognosticators to cyberventilate as to FB’s future.
Based on an 11th hour stock devaluation by the company themselves (see
previous post, "Facebook’s IPO Morality Tale…"),
coupled with the claim the company can’t survive in the public sphere
relying solely on ad revenues, Zuck has ridden a roller-coaster of
criticism in one week’s time that has cast yet another shadow over the
world’s largest social network.
Facebook’s reversal of fortunes in such a short span of time has played
out almost like a modern-day morality tale. The fall-out of the social
network post-IPO, after such an enthusiastic build-up was telling. While it lined the
pockets of some (namely investment bankers), it deprived the 99
Percenters (or Dumb F*cks
as Zuckerberg so adroitly labeled them back in 2004) full-disclosure,
resulting in a subsequent short-fall on their FB investment.
