I was checking out an article or two the other day ranging from wearing hoodies on Wall Street, flexible business practices and an IPO that would seem to be a promising investment!
The Horror of Hoodies
First up was Facebook‘s main man, Mark Zuckerberg, showing up in Wall Street in a hoodie, and the establishment of Wall Street apparently took offense to how he wasn’t respecting the business dress code or etiquette.
Seriously? If those complaints came from someone who was smarter or made more money then Zuck, I’d give it some credit. But for the moment, I’d say that’s a moot point they were trying to make! The hoodie probably cost more than that guy’s suit who whined about it.
Footloose and Fancy Free Business Plans?
Then I saw another piece in the paper about how it doesn’t appear as if the entity of Facebook plans too far out in advance… they see something, like it, buy it up and incorporate it.
They refer to this process and FB as “A fairly nimble company.” Though I must profess, something that big, moving forward without too many plans, doesn’t seem right. To succeed, you do need a good outline. With flexibility in the process.
The article even noted you can tell what they’re planning by what they’re buying.
