United Continental Holdings to Pay More Than a Quarter Billion Dollars in Profit Sharing to Employees [MarketWatch - 2/13/12] #MyStock - http://www.marketwatch.com/story...
United Continental Holdings, Inc. UAL -0.44% tomorrow will distribute $265 million in profit sharing to employees based on the combined full-year financial results of its subsidiaries, United Airlines and Continental Airlines. The company is paying eligible employees approximately 5 percent of their annual pay for profit sharing.

In addition to profit sharing, co-workers of the combined company earned cash incentive payments for on-time performance totaling $40 million during 2011. The on-time incentive program pays up to $100 monthly when the combined airline hits targets for on-time domestic and international arrivals.

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.
- Mitchell Tsai
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.
- Mitchell Tsai
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."

The $1.6 Billion Woman, Staying on Message [Nicole Perlroth & Claire Miller, New York Times - 2/4/12] - http://www.nytimes.com/2012...
Her talks have gone viral. On YouTube, videos of her speeches have been viewed more than 200,000 times. Some have been included in syllabuses at the Stanford and Harvard business schools. Put simply, she exudes that certain something that seems to leave many people, particularly young women, a bit star-struck.
- Mitchell Tsai
from Bookmarklet
Other women in Silicon Valley have been role models. Many, like the Google executives Marissa Mayer and Susan Wojcicki, have quietly campaigned to promote women inside their companies. Others — like Meg Whitman, the former chief executive of eBay who now runs Hewlett-Packard; Carly Fiorina, the former H.P. chief; and Carol Bartz, the former head of Yahoo — have reached pinnacles of success in tech.
- Mitchell Tsai
But none have made promoting women a cause the way Ms. Sandberg has.
- Mitchell Tsai
EVEN so, some say her aim-high message is a bit out of tune. Everyone agrees she is wickedly smart. But she has also been lucky, and has had powerful mentors along the way. After Harvard and Harvard Business School, she quickly rose from a post as an economist at the World Bank to become the chief of staff for Lawrence H. Summers, then the Treasury secretary. After that, she jumped to Google and, in 2008, to Facebook.
- Mitchell Tsai
There’s no denying that Ms. Sandberg has been remarkably successful at Facebook. When she joined the company, it had some 70 million users and no business model. With her in the C.O.O. seat, profits have reached $1 billion on $3.7 billion in revenue.
- Mitchell Tsai
She has arguably made an equally big mark with her frequent speeches to women, which are a call to draw more women to technology, and to Facebook. She personally recruited Lori Goler, its head of human resources, and Katie Mitic, its head of platform and mobile marketing. Ms. Sandberg’s role in keeping such employees has been even more crucial.

Why French Parents Are Superior [Pamela Druckerman, Wall Street Journal - 2/4/12] - http://online.wsj.com/article...
Mark H, WoH: Minding her Botts and Ken Morley liked this
Why was it, for example, that in the hundreds of hours I'd clocked at French playgrounds, I'd never seen a child (except my own) throw a temper tantrum? Why didn't my French friends ever need to rush off the phone because their kids were demanding something? Why hadn't their living rooms been taken over by teepees and toy kitchens, the way ours had?
- Mitchell Tsai
from Bookmarklet
Soon it became clear to me that quietly and en masse, French parents were achieving outcomes that created a whole different atmosphere for family life. When American families visited our home, the parents usually spent much of the visit refereeing their kids' spats, helping their toddlers do laps around the kitchen island, or getting down on the floor to build Lego villages.
- Mitchell Tsai
When French friends visited, by contrast, the grownups had coffee and the children played happily by themselves.
- Mitchell Tsai
Middle-class French parents (I didn't follow the very rich or poor) have values that look familiar to me. They are zealous about talking to their kids, showing them nature and reading them lots of books. They take them to tennis lessons, painting classes and interactive science museums.
- Mitchell Tsai
Yet the French have managed to be involved with their families without becoming obsessive. They assume that even good parents aren't at the constant service of their children, and that there is no need to feel guilty about this. "For me, the evenings are for the parents," one Parisian mother told me. "My daughter can be with us if she wants, but it's adult time."
- Mitchell Tsai
French parents want their kids to be stimulated, but not all the time. While some American toddlers are getting Mandarin tutors and preliteracy training, French kids are—by design—toddling around by themselves.
- Mitchell Tsai
One of the keys to this education is the simple act of learning how to wait. It is why the French babies I meet mostly sleep through the night from two or three months old. Their parents don't pick them up the second they start crying, allowing the babies to learn how to fall back asleep. It is also why French toddlers will sit happily at a restaurant.
- Mitchell Tsai
Delphine said that she never set out specifically to teach her kids patience. But her family's daily rituals are an ongoing apprenticeship in how to delay gratification.
- Mitchell Tsai
When Pauline tried to interrupt our conversation, Delphine said, "Just wait two minutes, my little one. I'm in the middle of talking." It was both very polite and very firm. I was struck both by how sweetly Delphine said it and by how certain she seemed that Pauline would obey her. Delphine was also teaching her kids a related skill: learning to play by themselves. "The most important thing is that he learns to be happy by himself," she said of her son, Aubane.

Rise of the dragon: China isn't censoring the Internet. It's making it work. [George Yeo and Eric Li, CSMonitor - 1/23/12] - http://www.csmonitor.com/Comment...
Norbert Wiener, authored an influential book entitled “Cybernetics.” Mr. Wiener separated human responses to new challenges into two types: ontogenetic and phylogenetic. Ontogenetic activities are organized and carried out through centrally designed institutions to shape the development of society. The phylogenetic response, on the other hand, is evolutionary. It is analogous to the way bacteria behave in mutual interaction without organizational oversight.
- Mitchell Tsai
from Bookmarklet
The development of human civilization has always been characterized by the constant struggle between these two opposites – the ontogenetic attempts to control the phylogenetic and the latter’s undermining of the former. The relationship is both adversarial and symbiotic, much like yin and yang.
- Mitchell Tsai
In today’s context, political authority is ontogenetic while the cyberspace is phylogenetic. The health of human society depends on the balance between the two. When they are out of balance, the body politic falls sick with catastrophic consequences.
- Mitchell Tsai
The easy scalability of the Internet makes it perhaps the most powerful phylogenetic invasion of the body politic in recent times. Bill Davidow, in his book, “Overconnected: the Promise and Threat of the Internet,” talks about how the Internet’s “hyper-connection” can spread “contagions” like pandemics. The Internet is not an unmitigated force for good. It can also do harm to human society.

Facebook IPO: what we've learned from its S-1 filing [Charles Arthur, Guardian - 2/2/12] - http://www.guardian.co.uk/technol...
(1) It is extremely profitable. In 2011, it brought in revenues of $3.7bn and had an operating income (the profit after you subtract day-to-day costs, but before taxes) of $1.7bn. Its net income for that year was $1bn - giving it a 27% net margin. For comparison, most physical businesses have net margins of between 5% - 10%.
- Mitchell Tsai
from Bookmarklet
(2) The Like button - and user growth - turned loss into profit. In 2009 Facebook flipped from loss to profit, and the introduction of the Like button that February helped to target advertising.
- Mitchell Tsai
(4) Active user numbers are still growing fast: at the end of 2011 had 845 million active users, up 39% from the same time in 2010.
- Mitchell Tsai
(5) Facebook depends on advertising, but less of its revenue comes from that. The proportion of revenue from advertising in 2009, 2010 and 2011 was, respectively, 98%, 95% and 85% of revenue. The rest comes from in-app purchases such as in games like Zynga's Farmville.
- Mitchell Tsai
(6) Zynga is an important partner. In 2011, 12% of Facebook's revenue came from it (so between advertising and Zynga, that's 97% of revenues.) So much so that Zynga gets a special mention: "If the use of Zynga games on our Platform declines, if Zynga launches games on or migrates games to competing platforms, or if we fail to maintain good relations with Zynga, we may lose Zynga as a significant Platform developer and our financial results may be adversely affected."
- Mitchell Tsai
(8) 2009 is the year when everything clicked into place. In the years up to that point, as recorded on the S-1, revenues were small compared to costs (which aren't broken down, but consist of activities such as running the site and getting advertising sales). But in 2009, it broke through: from 2008 to 2009, revenues grew from $272m to $777m, almost tripling, but other costs only doubled. Result, profit.
- Mitchell Tsai
(9) Facebook's revenues for 2011 are about the same as Google's were in 2004, when it filed its S-1. But its profitability is much higher.
- Mitchell Tsai
(16) Lots of Facebook employees who have been there a while are going to be very rich. This isn't surprising, but there are 138m shares that have been issued to them for $0.83. At an expected price of around $45, that's almost $6.2bn of pure profit for all those staff.

Mr. Zuckerberg's thinking began changing when Facebook realized in 2010 that it would have more than 500 shareholders by the end of 2011, which would trigger a regulatory requirement that the company start publicly reporting financials. Mr. Zuckerberg decided it made more sense for Facebook to go public and reap some financial benefit from an IPO.
- Mitchell Tsai
The company's research and development expenses ballooned last year to $114 million in 2011 from $9 million in 2010, primarily due to growth in employee head count and equity compensation. Facebook's costs and expenses are going up faster than revenue. It employs 3,200 as of December, up from 2,172 a year earlier.

Facebook IPO: Pressure to turn personal data into profit [Christopher Williams, Telegraph - 2/2/12] http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technol...
