    Facebook have been on the stock exchange quite a while now but they belive they're not getting enough shares, I don't know if this is just rumours but according to some google staff I know its supposively true. If anyone could comment with any relevant facts to support my statement would be good.

    The IPO was less than a year ago.

    Why would google staff have any inside information ?

    What does "not getting enough shares" mean. Sounds like nothing but rumor to me!

    Facebook staff must have been Googling whether or not the rumour is true. Google staff saw their searches and tell the Facebook staff that they heard on the grapevine that Facebook is going private. It's all wonderfully circular :D

    Except no-one knows what 'not enough shares' really means.

    Surely it means that they're unhappy that too few of their "Friends" are reposting their stuff. No? :confused:
