My obligatory Facebook IPO post

My obligatory Facebook IPO post

Every blog is supposed to write regarding the IPO

I’ve got to write one, right?

If religious blogs find a way to cover an IPO then a domain blog ought to, too.

I actually have a bit of a domain angle. This morning I googled FacebookIPO.com since I recall seeing something regarding the domain previously. Here’s the first result:

Facebook-IPO.com has no content whatsoever. Google still cares regarding exact match domain searches, even if it’s on a really esoteric search. I suspect some people will type FacebookIPO.com into their browsers today.

OK, that’s my tie-in.

Facebook is expected to start trading this morning on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol FB.

Also on the wire
