Facebook had their IPO (Initial Public Offering) and went public as a company on Friday May 18, 2012. From speculations about whether it's worth buying a share, to people watching the numbers from all over the world, to Reddit memes, to Twitterers making fun of Bono for making $1.5 Billion over this, to the usual mockery of Mark Zuckerberg over absolutely everything he does (he makes it easy), here are the best Tumblr, Reddit and Twitter reactions to the Facebook IPO.
NMA News in Taiwan made a video about the Facebook IPO and a weird Facebook IPO "Thank You" video came out of YouTube in a really well-meaning, ernest and hilariously cheesy way.
Enjoy the greatest internet jokes and funny articles about the Facebook IPO.

How Zuckerberg Celebrates
Mark Zuckerberg lines up 30 bison. He pulls the bolt back on his anti-tank gun and aims it down the line. "Time for the real offering."
