It also means that the company has to publicly disclose details about its finances, like its earnings, that it previously kept private. WHO DECIDES THE VALUE OF AN IPO? An investment bank determines how much money the company can expect to make on the stock market based on a number of factors, from the health of the economy to how popular the company's product is expected to be in the future. The initial valuation is always a bit of a gamble, since the stock has never been traded publicly before, and analysts can't look at past behavior to figure out how it should be priced. Morgan Stanley is expected to spearhead Facebook's IPO filing, with Goldman Sachs playing a supporting role, the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday. Facebook's IPO has been pegged at $5 billion. The company itself being valued between $75 billion and $100 billion, unnamed sources familiar with the deal told the Journal. The IPO sets a record among technology companies. Google...

Когато роботът на някоя търсачка посети web страница той прочита нейното съдържание (индексира), след което следва хипервръзките и така намира страница след страница. Вероятността интернет търсачките да намерят даден интернет сайт е по-голяма, ако много други сайтове съдържат връзки към него. 2. Индекс, или база-данни, съдържаща копие от всяка страница (пълния текст или сведения за заглавие, ключови термини и др. информация), обходена от робота. Има търсачки, които индексират пълния текст на документа, т.е. всяка дума от този текст може да бъде търсеща – ако се зададе в полето на търсене, този документ ще бъде повикан в резултатите(Excite, Alta Vista, Google, HotBot, Infoseek, WebCrawler). При други търсачки роботите регистрират само заглавие, подзаглавни данни, анотации, или просто първите няколко реда от текста, които носят информация за темата на документа.

При първото поколение търсачки подреждането им става най-често според честотата на срещане на думите от запитването. Във второто поколение търсачки резултатите обикновено се подреждат по честота на посещаемост от други потребители и по брой на направени хипервръзки към тях. Най-отгоре в списъка ще появят...

...Wix.com is a very interactive and easy to use website. At first, getting start and try to get use to the website settings require a bit of work since there are three different modes that we can view and edit our website such as Express, View and Editor mode. So the Express and Editor view mode is the only two that we usually go into to edit our website contents. The template that we chose to create our real estate database with is a Business template that was available on Wix.com. However, the template’s background color was quite dark and it overlapped with the color of most of our words that we want our customers to read; therefore, we decide to replace the background of the default Wix template with our own which is a brighter color background. On the other hand, we also use our own font for the words on our website as well as its color such as red and green and a few animation effects and clip arts to get the attention of customers. Basically, we created 5 tabs that are clearly visible to our target audiences, the five tabs included a Home page, a For Rent page, a About us page, a Mobile page and a Contact page. The Home page of our website basically included the company name which is the Boston Pads on the upper left corner. Next to our company name, we designed 5 little green rectangles box that have the five clickable tabs inside. Furthermore, the Home page also included the Latest Properties For Rent and Most Popular sub-category with animated picture of a few locations...

...companies that come to mind first have to be Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo. Two years ago they ranked as the most visited sites in the world. Google was number one with 147 million visits a month. Facebook was second with 132 million, and Yahoo was close behind with 130 million. The Search industry is a true conundrum in and of itself because of the dynamic among that top three I spoke of. Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft are each other’s competition, but at one point or another they have actually worked together. Granted the only reason for this was for individual benefit, NOT for brotherhood or solidarity. Even so, that is still pretty much unheard of on any other industry. Early on in Google’s infancy, Yahoo actually was a customer of its search engines. Of course when Yahoo broke away from them, there was some legal wrangling over patents, and Microsoft actually tried to actually takeover Yahoo some years ago. Well, eventually Yahoo reached an agreement with Google to host their search ads. This alliance gained Yahoo nearly one billion dollars in revenue. But, like every time any of these companies try to play nice it failed again. Google pulled out after receiving a warning from the U.S. Justice Department that their partnership could possibly violate antitrust statutes. Essentially, over the course of their existence Google and Microsoft have been showing growth while Yahoo has struggled. Without Google and Microsoft helping Yahoo probably would not still be...

...Behind Instagram's success, networking the old way Past midnight, in a dimly lighted warehouse jutting into the San Francisco Bay, Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger introduced something they had been working on for weeks: a photo-sharing iPhone application called Instagram. What happened next was crazier than they could have imagined. In a matter of hours, thousands downloaded it. The computer systems handling the photos kept crashing. Neither of them knew what to do. "Who's, like, the smartest person I know who I can call up?" Mr. Systrom remembered thinking. He scrolled through his phone and found his man: Adam D'Angelo, a former chief technology officer at Facebook. They had met at a party seven years earlier, over beers in red plastic cups, at the Sigma Nu fraternity at Stanford University. That night in October 2010, Mr. D'Angelo became Instagram's lifeline. "Adam spent like 30 minutes on the phone with us," Mr. Systrom recalled, "walking us through the basic things we needed to do to get back up." Mr. Systrom, now 29, offered this as a parable for the roomful of would-be entrepreneurs who came to hear him talk at Stanford last spring: in the intensely competitive start-up scene here, success is as much about who you know as what you know. "Make sure to spend some time after the talk getting to know the people around you," he told his audience. Those people, he might have added, might one day shape your destiny. They might one day press money into your palm...

...Why not be able to look into something you desire to know? Google is the world’s largest and most renowned online search engine. It is a household name and “to Google” has even become an accepted term in English language. Google should stay in China and deal with their censorships. (1)Google does not want to allow its global search competitors to gain a stronger foothold in the Chinese market; Consider this piece from The Huffington Post, which doesn't expressly say Google should stay, but shows that Microsoft and other Google competitors would gain a huge advantage if the search giant picks up and goes home. This is important because by Google leaving, they can lose on a lot of revenue. (2) China boasts more Internet users than the entire U.S. population, and Google has recently gained significantly in that market, so there is substantial revenue to be gained. Why leave when you can still make a great income? Even if you can’t be fully used as a program, engine, whatever; you can still make money through all you other searches. (3) China boasts more Internet users than the entire U.S. population, and Google has recently gained significantly in that market, so there is substantial revenue to be gained. Leaving China could even harm the United State’s relationship with them. Someone could disagree and say that congress may pass legislation that would fine companies that don't uphold basic human rights. If Google opts to stay in China, it could face serious fines and other...

...The race for SMS location sharing started long before Foursquare. Before Foursquare there was Dodgeball the brainchild of Dennis Crowley and partner Alex Rainert. Rainert and Crowley worked together on the predecessor of Foursquare before selling to Google in 2005. After selling to Google the Dodgeball founders worked for the technology monolith until 2007. (Burns, 2010.) Cromley cited the departure from Google to be lack of support as he detailed on his Flickr picture (shown right) “It's no real secret that Google wasn't supporting dodgeball the way we expected. The whole experience was incredibly frustrating for us - especially as we couldn't convince them that dodgeball was worth engineering resources, leaving us to watch as other startups got to innovate in the mobile + social space. And while it was a tough decision (and really disappointing) to walk away from dodgeball, I'm actually looking forward to getting to work on other projects again. “(Crowley, 2007). After Dodgeball came Foursquare, the forerunner in SMS location sharing. Foursquare was born in coffee shops and bars in the silicon alley in New York City. Dennis Crowley, former founder of Dodgeball, and Naveen Selvadurai founded the start-up after meeting in 2007. Alex Rainert, of Dodgeball fame, was a seed investor and is now on staff with Foursquare. (Burns, 2010). Foursquare was launched at the South by Southwest festival in 2007 and quickly became the tech world’s new darling. As with any new technology...

...On July 16, 2012, Marissa Mayer was appointed President and CEO of Yahoo!, effective the following day. Mayer changed the overall business strategy which had been changing over the years because Yahoo! was quite often changing its CEO. The constant changes in leadership made Yahoo! appear to be an unstable company, and Mayer hoped to fix that. She has not said exactly what the company’s strategy is, but we can of course make assumptions based on what strategies she’s been implementing and what she’s been changing. As we can take form her Q&A session during the Goldman Sachs (GS) Technology and Internet conference on February 12th, 2013 (CNN.com), she is focusing the company on the “big four” (search, display ads, mobile, and video). Right now Yahoo! offers about 60 mobile apps and they want to bring it down to 12-14. They will also be revamping and updating the apps that do stay, all in an effort to, as she put it, “services are No. 1”. On February 20th, 2013, Yahoo! began rolling out their new and improved homepage. The webpage has a design intended to “deliver a consistent experience across the desktop, tablets, and phones that gives users a bottomless, personalized well of news and information, while at the same time delivering targeted ads across devices” (Wired.com). There were major changes to Yahoo Mail, and their new Flickr app. With many new features such as an infinite news scroll, with the ability to set preferences to determine what pops up in the infinite scroll...

...that it would buy Skype for $8.5 billion. The reaction was fast, furious and very predictable. First, there was the search for reasons for the deal and technology mavens listed a few. Second, there was the reaction from investors and analysts, which was generally not very positive. Third, it was noted that Bill Gates, the face of Microsoft for so long, was strongly in favor of the deal (thus providing cover for Steve Ballmer). Ultimately, though, the discussion of the deal was lacking in one key respect: Is Skype worth $8.5 billion to Microsoft? A few of the analysts noted that the price paid was roughly ten times Skype's revenues in 2010, an undoubtedly rich price, but by itself proving nothing. After all, if you had been able to buy into Google at ten times revenues in 2003, you would be rich now. A great deal of attention was paid to whether Skype was the right company for Microsoft to buy and the strategic/synergistic fit of the two companies. It has always been my contention with acquisitions that it is not the strategic fit or synergistic stories that make the difference between a good deal and a bad one, but whether you buy a company at the right price. Put in more direct terms, buying a company that is a poor strategic fit at a low price is vastly preferable to buying a company that fits like a glove at the wrong price. So, let's get back to valuation basics. What is the value of Skype? The question is rendered more difficult to answer because Skype is a private business...
