  TalentBridge is hosting another E1O1 session and this time we are dedicating the session to a discussion around Social Media. The world took notice when Microsoft paid $150 million for a 1.6 percent stake in Facebook back in late 2007 raising the valuation of Facebook to a whooping $15 billion, and the world actually fell backwards when Facebook recently accepted a $200 million investment from Digital Sky Technologies for 1.96 percent of Facebook stake giving Facebook a valuation of $10 billion.

  I do not get angry easily … I have always maintained an objective opinion that in getting angry about something you are either overlooking your part of the fault, or refusing to see the opportunity to learn from something or just plain simple playing into the hands of the entity that has a vested interest [...]
