Facebook, Groupon Inc (GRPN.O), LinkedIn Corp (LNKD.N), Zynga Inc (ZNGA.O) and others have put in place governance provisions that go against a long-term swing towards more shareholder-friendly rules.

In the past 10 years, many of the biggest publicly traded companies in the U.S. have been getting rid of staggered boards and dual-class stock structures. Currently, for example, only about 24 percent of S&P 500 companies have classified boards, down from 61 percent in 2002. But there hasn't been such a significant change among new arrivals. Of the 76 companies that went public last year, nearly 65 percent had classified boards. In 2002, 82 percent of IPOs had the feature.

Of the eight high-profile IPOs in the social networking and new media space last year, all either had classified boards or dual-class structures, with some having both. Of these companies, Zillow Inc (Z.O) and LinkedIn had both, Angie's List Inc (ANGI.O), Jive Software Inc (JIVE.O) and Pandora Media Inc (P.N) had classified boards, while Groupon, FriendFinder Networks Inc (FFN.O) and Zynga had dual-class structures.

It has some major investors feeling dissed. "These are companies who for one reason or another decided that they are going public, but they do not want to have to answer to the public market," said Janice Hester-Amey, a portfolio manager in the corporate governance unit at the California State Teachers' Retirement System.

How Pinterest Will Transform the Web in 2012: Social Content Curation As The Next Big Thing [Elad Blog - 1/4/12] - http://blog.eladgil.com/2011...
2012 will likely see an acceleration of structured, push button, social curation across the web. Why? Because most users don't want to take much effort to produce content, and consuming content in a structured manner (especially photos) is also much faster. Just as the first wave of social media has transformed the consumption of information, this next wave of social curation will fundamentally change how users find and interact with content over time.

Why Pinterest is 2012's hottest website [Pete Cashmore, CNN - 2/7/12] - http://www.cnn.com/2012...
How successful is Pinterest? Unique visitors to the site grew 400% from September to December 2011, and just last week one study showed that Pinterest drives more visitors to third-party websites than Google+, YouTube and LinkedIn combined.

As tech entrepreneur Elad Gil insightfully explained in an article on his blog last month, sharing on the Web has been following three parallel trends. (1) The first is that sharing involves less effort over time. (2) The second is that social sites are becoming more visual over time.
- Mitchell Tsai
(3) And the third is that "people-centric" recommendations are being augmented by "topic-centric" networks -- which is to say that while Facebook lets you explore the Web through information shared by friends, newer social networks organize content by topics of interest. Some in the technology industry call this the "interest graph."
