Pulling a Zuckerberg, or How to Kill a $100B IPO

Last week was rather quiet except for the increasing drama surrounding Facebook and what was to be their $100B IPO. It could still be, but thanks to its young, inexperienced, and clearly still-maturing CEO, it found itself digging out of an avoidable hole.

Big Red Picks Color for New Video Venture
