Musing in college.
I am integrating facebook publishing to my FB Page. This is a lot of technical work, and so this posts content is minimal… this is just a test.
Update: I was yet again unsuccessful in integrating FB to recieve posts from this blog.
Update [May 12, 2012]: I am trying this again…
Yesterday I started producing requested ‘Country of Origin’ (CO) documents for customers. The chain of responsibility for NAFTA compliance starts with the first producer and continues until the end product is created. Each company that manufactures a part is responsible for keeping track of the origins of the components or material that go into making the part, and they in turn are expected to pass their knowledge onto their customer who will presumably use the part to complete a car, refrigerator, or other.

Facebook’s recent acquisition of Instagram for $1Billion dollars, or 1% of FB’s IPO. Facebook is obviously not buying users, Instagram only has ~30M compaierd to FB which has almost a Billion users. Of those few IG users its estimated that at least half are already on FB. So what’s so great about this little iPhone app that makes people love to share their memories each day? Is it really worth $1B to Facebook cannot be an accounting error, but if it is, then why?!
