Facebook is set to find out...

They will be filing their IPO sometime today. It will be a while before the share price is set and shares start trading. But analysts expect the initial offering to put the company's value in the range of $75 billion to $100 billion. And for the first time, the public will get an inside look at how they operate.

That's a lot of dough for knowing where somebody ate lunch and that their cat coughed up a hairball.

Recipe for FB disaster

If FB comes out with what amounts to an overvalued IPO, they will have enormous pressure put on them to use people's info in ever more devious ways that may eventually push the limits of privacy invasion beyond even the tolerance levels of a generally desensitized public.

One too many revelations or mishandled fiascoes, and FB could see a mass exodus, with their most precious commodity tossing them aside with the pet rocks, mood rings and the Macarena, only to be remembered briefly in twenty years during a brief fit of nostalgia, and then dumped forever.
