Solution oriented, with lots of options! Great job Lauren, especially with the options for not being on camera. That's the biggest excuse I hear from people about not getting into video, and you blow that away quickly and easily. :)

Love this article Lauren! I'm also on a mission to convince people to start using video in their marketing. You have eliminated any excuse a person could have for not making their first video. Sorry I missed the webinar, did you record it? I do use video marketing, but could definitely use some more education on the subject!

Thanks for the shout out, Lauren. All great points and I'm always surprised when I land on a blog with no social sharing buttons. If it's not easy, like one click, most people will not take the time to help amplify your message...blog on!

I really like the last two concepts, which leads to building a more supportive community and where everybody wins. I believe that if I help my colleagues shine, we all shine together!

Of course good intentions never guarantee good results and Mark has no actual control over the market so we will have to wait and see

I agree Keri...time will tell if shareholders will ruin Facebook. But we can be sure of this, if they do change it for the worse then Facebook will go the way of MySpace.
Its great to meet you as well

Great comments from all. Lauren, like yourself, I'd like to trust that Mark Z has good intentions. Time will tell for all of us the wisdom of all our choices.

Lauren,

Thank you for sharing! I'm intrigued by your re-purposing via audio....very cool!!

To be honest, when a company goes public and answers to the shareholders, they do exactly that. A board of directors is then wanting their WIIFM.

Is Facebook innovative and doe they have potential to not be the usual. Yes. Can they? I don't know. Which is why I think an IPO is a concern.

We can only watch and see, and stick together.

Glad the big blue brought us together via Mari Smith!

Thanks for sharing your view Lauren. I don't know anything about Mark Zuckerberg, so can't really have an opinion about where his heart lies in this IPO thing. I do wonder why FB would mess with the good thing they've got going, but if the purpose and intent is to make money so they can offer more and better services that help people build relationships, then I'm all for it!

I guess only time will tell, but for now I'll assume that his purpose is exactly what he says it is and look for great things to come from him in the future!

Thanks for the comment Bret. As I stated in the article, I may be naive but I prefer to believe that Mark Zuckerbergs decision to go public was in line with his true purpose which is to increase the connections of people around the world. Can his purpose also align with making a profit for him and his company? Yes most definitely! That is how capitalism works.
I am buying some stock myself and my hope would be it will increase in value so at some point I could sell it and make money.

I agree Lauren, having video marketing in your arsenal is a must these days. Yet there is so much to figure out to get it just right. Like you, I'm learning as I go along!

Re: The Heart of Mark Zuckerberg – And the Impending Facebook IPO

Bret Shroyer — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 15:19:07 -0000

Facebook has billions in cash, zero debt, and is on target to deliver over a billion in profit this year. Why go public at this point? The current owners believe that this is the peak. Facebook needs no cash; the only reason to sell now is that the current private owners believe this is an attractive valuation.

Drawing it one step further, those buying into the FB IPO are doing so for one and only one reason: to find a bigger fool with a higher bid somewhere in the future.

Good luck.

Re: Tribute to My Husband Lester

Lauren McMullen — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 20:56:42 -0000

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment JoAnne. You are so right, I was blessed but somehow that does not seem to matter as I move forward with trying to figure out a life without my soulmate. Everyone says it will get easier but for me it seems to just get more difficult. I wonder what I am doing wrong.

Re: Tribute to My Husband Lester

JoAnne Funch — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 20:06:46 -0000

Lauren,
I am so very sorry for your loss, Lester sounded like an amazing partner. Speaking Lester's name and letting people know he mattered, his life mattered is important to you. As a widow myself, I do understand and want you to know there is a huge widowed community online should you want support. Blessings sent your way.

Yes it seems to be happening more and more lately. I just don't understand why they do it? There is no money to be made.
