This past week marked some major events for Mark Zuckerberg, creator of the social networking site Facebook. The Facebook Company went public, becoming one of the first social networks to do so, in an attempt to prove that social media is more than just a passing fad. The stock, however, has fallen below its offer price of $38. But Facebook still has over 901 million users around the world, and a well-targeted advertisement program within the site that is the major “money maker” for the company.
In Zuckerberg’s personal news, he married his girlfriend of nine years and fellow Harvard graduate Dr. Priscilla Chan. In true Facebook fashion, the news of the wedding was broken through Zuckerberg’s Facebook relationship status change to “married to Priscilla Chan.” The wedding was kept secret up until this; guests believed that they were attending Dr. Chan’s graduation from University of California’s medical school. Perhaps the most surprising part of the wedding was that Zuckerberg left his trademark hoodie at home in exchange for a suit.
