Forget the wedding!  Do you think Mark is wearing an "I got Zucked" t-shirt on his honeymoon?  I hear they're all the rage!

Maybe we can blame the IPO issues on Zuckerberg's preoccupation with his pending marriage!

Ok. we're getting more infomation: The wedding had been in the works for months, a friend of the couple told the Associated Press; the fact that it came one day after Facebook debuted on the stock market was entirely coincidental.

But still...

Why plan a wedding for the same time as the IPO? Aren't both things important enough to deserve full attention for a time?

Just saying, I don't really think he made the decision in 48 hours! Of course I could be wrong.

Off-the-rack suit is a significant upgrade from a hoodie!

Scott, he's a billionaire and it was a hundred people. He had an off the rack suit and her dress did not appear custom made. How hard could it be to get a small party together?

@Noreen

I don't know that's even more cynical thinking than even I'm prone too. Don't think think he had to have known he was going to get married at least a few days before the IPO? He must have made some plans at least to alert people to be there.

Every time I think about Facebook, I get an uneasy feeling we're all being scammed -- like the people who fought for seats in the Twilight Zone episode "to serve man"

@Noreen--

Pinterest is a great example of active clicks versus sheer size of the user base. I couldn't get enough Pinterest when I first joined, but now the self-referential nature of the same content over and over has made it totally ho hum.

And don't forget with Facebook that if your pet is like mine, (s)he may have his or her own profile, but isn't doing much shopping day to day.  (At least I hope not!)
