The biggest virtual world, well, in the world, is getting ready to become public!
Buzz around the net is that Facebook is going to file the paperwork this coming week for an IPO to launch in the spring. It could value the company at close to $100 billion dollars. Two other online companies recently IPO'd and the shares haven't done much since. These are Zynga and Groupon. But Facebook is much bigger than those company and has millions more users.
If Facebook can afford to start new hires at $100,000 things must be going well!
Would you buy shares in Facebook?

Website Blackouts have effect on SOPA
VirtualWorld.ca
Yesterday Wikipedia.org and other websites went dark in protest of the planned SOPA legislation. It appears this tactic has worked, as support for SOPA is starting to fade.
Even though the biggest corporate opponents of SOPA and PIPA – Google, Facebook and Twitter, among others – didn’t go dark on Wednesday, the digital blackout appears to have prompted several key legislators to drop their support for the bills, in the process altering the political landscape and making it far less likely either bill will pass smoothly.

Steve Jobs action figure - very lifelike
VirtualWorld.ca
I just learned today that there is actually going to be a Steve Jobs action figure, if you can believe it!
It is supposed to be released in February and after seeing a preview picture, I can say it looks very life-like. Definitely the best action figure likeness to real person I've EVER seen. And I've seen lots of action figures for Star Wars, Wrestlers, hockey players, and super heroes.
I'm sure when it comes out it will get a lot of media attention.
