Facebook: from hype to hysteria to realism

Facebook has gone from hype to hysteria in barely two weeks. The biggest IPO of a technology company ever - with proceeds of USD 16 billion - ended in disappointment and in some ways almost a soap opera. Media reports are now full of lawsuits and possible damages claims, similar to the crash of the first internet bubble around the turn of the century. Some may recall Nina Brink's thumbs-up at the listing of World Online, which lost two-thirds of its market value within a month of the IPO. The best advice is
