Having been on the seminar circuit for seven years in a past life, the real definition of expert is "someone from over 50 miles away". Since you're up there and I'm down here, I guess you qualify, huh?

Ex = a has been, Spurt = a drip under pressure, put them together to get an expert. 

I'm hardly an expert, but I see far to much noise around this one to jump in. Lots of pros already lost 10% today, and they have better insight than any of us do. I may regret this if it's 80 by the end of June, but I'll feel pretty good if it's still around $40. If it's down to $20 I'm going to have to rethink the whole thing.

I think it's still worth waiting a bit just to see how it settles out. A super flat IPO is going to something to the speculating behavior and I don't want be part of that yet. I don't mind giving up the first few percent of a gain to get away from any initial volatility.

 

It's a great American story.  A callow undergrad at Harvard steals the idea of his classmates, surfs the crest of a technological human information wave created by an inexplicable and insatiable desire to make known all things personal, mundane or otherwise, in real time, and makes billions of dollars before that wave pounds the hard sandy bottom .  

FB stock closed fairly flat at $38.23 - so you can still jump in and get some...

I am proud to say that I have had a FB page for over 5 years and have no idea what any of you are talking about!I never go off of my home page and only use it to message my friends so I don't have to talk to them on the phone.

I got tired of constantly having to update it, like every week or more, and every once in a while stuff would get blocked that I wanted to see so keeping the whitelist updated etc. just became as big an annoyance. To me.

I do really like the clean look that FBPurity gave the page, but I can do without that.

It's called Social Fixer. It does a lot more than purity, I think.

I have almost everything turned off in the social fixers but I guess they still block the ads. 
I like a couple things - like not having the return button submit your post and the image preview.

How so?  What's the "other one?"

FBPurity and the other one got to be more annoying than the ads. I get very few game requests and crap in my feed these days so between people not abusing the game notifications and my own FB settings, it's not a problem anymore. Of course it's not perfect but it's settled way down from how bad it was a couple of years ago, so I can handle it.
