Would you rock facebook nail polish?


You may feel like Facebook has already taken over your life, but the website has just taken their reign one step further.

According to a picture tweeted by Huffington Post editor Bianca Bosker, the social media giant sells a shade of nail polish at its Menlo Park, California, headquarters called Social Butterfly Blue, for $4.95 a bottle.

While the website's logo isn't featured on the packaging, the distinctive blue is recognizable to anyone familiar with Facebook's home page.
Indeed, the 29-year-old entrepreneur explained: 'Blue is the richest color for me - I can see all of blue.'
Another possible reason behind the iconic hue is that blue has been proven to trigger certain emotions when it comes to marketing.
In a graphic published on FastCompany.com, blue is shown to elicit the sensations of trust, security and dependability.
The nail polish bottles, which can only be purchased at the Facebook campus, are adorned with tiny butterflies.

Now Facebook WILL allow under-13s access in bid to boost revenue – but says parents can decide who their kids 'friend'


Facebook is planning to let children under the age of 13 sign up for the first time, despite privacy concerns and parents’ worries.
The social network wants to introduce parental controls so youngsters can join when they are old enough to work a mouse.
One option being considered is a filter so parents can decide who children can ‘friend’ and which applications they can use.
Facebook age restriction
Blocked: Currently, users must vouch that they are 13 or older to sign up for the website... but some 7.5 million young children lie about their age and log on anyway

Pictured: Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan look miserable on their honeymoon in Rome (maybe they are thinking about his lost billions in botched Facebook IPO)


With their long faces and blank expressions, Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan do not look like a couple enjoying their honeymoon in the Eternal City of Rome.

Settling down for a meal surrounded by other diners in the heart of the Italian capital, the Facebook CEO seems to be staring straight past his new bride while she looks right past the multi-billionaire and at the floor.

Maybe the couple are preoccupied with the disastrous floatation of Facebook onto the stock market which has seen the social networking giant lose billions of dollars off its initial listing price.

Facebook bride: Father of Zuckerberg's new wife was Asian refugee who worked 18-hour days in Chinese takeaway


  • Priscilla Chan was mainly raised by her grandmother because parents Dennis and Yvonne worked such grueling hours at their Boston restaurant
  • Her science teachers says she was determined and bright pupil who was aiming for Harvard when she was just 13

When Priscilla Chan married her long-time boyfriend, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, last weekend she looked every inch the fairytale bride.
In a stunning full-length white gown, 27-year-old Priscilla smiled serenely as she exchanged vows with Zuckerberg, 28, worth an astonishing £12 billion, in a surprise ceremony.
Her transformation into the wife of the world's youngest billionaire, however, is more remarkable than it may seem.
For Priscilla is the child of a Chinese-Vietnamese father who arrived in America with his family in the Seventies after spending time in a refugee camp.

Facebook set to lift ban on under-13s joining social network site


Facebook looks set to relax a ban on children using its site in a move that could see millions more sign up.
A senior employee of the company said the decision to lift the restriction could come about after admitting a large number of under 13-year-olds join up anyway.
The announcement follows Facebook's floatation on the stock market for a price of $38 a share - a valuation that puts the company's worth at over $100billion.
If Facebook's plan goes ahead, children could soon be signing up in droves to use the social networking site

The Facebook split: Indian woman files for divorce after husband failed to change his relationship status to married

The Facebook deal worth $100billion that will make Bono the world's richest rock star (but at what cost to your privacy?)



Hugging a hoodie has always been a risky business, but never before have the stakes been so high.
Tomorrow, Wall Street will invite the world to buy shares in Facebook and take what is expected to be a $104 billion gamble on its guiding light, Mark Zuckerberg, a hoodie-wearing 28-year-old who, only a few years ago, gave out business cards that read: ‘I’m CEO, b*tch’.
It’s no wonder, then, that Friday’s stock market launch - or initial public offering (IPO) - of the internet’s most popular social network has evoked almost as many shivers of fear in the business world as it has gasps of excitement.
Zuckerberg, a dentist’s son who created his original networking site in a single night from his dorm room at Harvard just eight years ago, will ring the opening bell on New York’s NASDAQ exchange tomorrow.

 He famously wears a hoodie, jeans and sneakers, and he was born the year Apple introduced the Macintosh. But Mark Zuckerberg is no boy-CEO.
Facebook’s chief executive turned 28 on Monday, setting in motion the social network’s biggest week ever. The company is expected to start selling stock to the public for the first time and begin trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market on Friday. The IPO could value Facebook at nearly $100 billion, making it worth more than such iconic companies as Disney, Ford and Kraft Foods.

Yahoo! dumps CEO over resume flaws

Yahoo! announced Sunday that Ross Levinsohn will temporarily replace chief executive Scott Thompson, who has stepped down in the face of controversy about his allegedly inflated resume.
The California-based company, in a compromise with activist investor Daniel Loeb, said Fred Amoroso would take charge of the board of directors as the struggling Internet pioneer seeks its sixth new chief in as many years.
“Yahoo! has been struggling over recent years and this new incident only makes matters worse for the company,” said technology industry analyst Jeff Kagan.
“Yahoo! rode the wave up during the last decade, but during the last several years has crossed over the top and has been heading down the other side.”
The changes are part of a settlement with Loeb’s hedge fund Third Point, which is waging a proxy battle at the Sunnyvale, California-based firm.
