Dear Mark Zuckerberg,
Congratulations on your IPO filing. We understand that you are faced with a difficult decision soon on where to list your stock. You have probably heard from your bankers that the NASDAQ exchange is for tech savvy companies like Google and Apple and the NYSE is where the blue chip companies like GE and Caterpillar choose to list.

Recently I came through this blog post. Please share your views on this article.

Hmm! I would go along with Riffraff:
"Maybe it’s changed (or, I’m wrong), but I thought having your stock listed on the NASDAQ allow insiders to sell a greater percentage of their holdings during a given period; thus explaining the preference of tech companies, who traditionally grant their insiders generous stock options, to list on the NASDAQ"

I also think so because "Where there's a will, there's a way"
The story of the guy who painted the FB offices is the most read story on internet. As he had done some illegal activities in the past but now is a famous person due to Facebook.
