The Story Behind The Story Of The Google
IPO?
The Story Behind The Story Of The Google
IPO?
07/26/2004 12:14 PMThis morning, it seems like the big Wall Street tech story is the
official release from Google about what they think they'll raise from
their IPO. Looking over all the different coverage, it appears that
many (especially in the financial press) seem to be getting the story
a little mixed up. The basic facts seem to be that approximately
24.6 million shares
will be put on the market with a range of $108 to $135 per share.
As noted in the story, some seem to think that breaking $100 may prove
to be a psychological barrier for many retail investors, even if the
actual price per share is meaningless. Still, if the price is a
psychological barrier, rather than a calculated decision, the investor
probably shouldn't be buying anyway. A minimum bid from anyone must
be for five shares, so anyone who wants in is spending over $500. The
range is higher than expected, and could lead to a valuation pushing
$40 billion. One analyst makes the bizarre statement that:
"The question is not what the company is
worth, but instead what people will pay for it," which misses the
fairly simple, but important, point that the price people are willing
to pay for the stock
is what the company is worth. Meanwhile,
many news articles are claiming that
Google will raise
$3.3 billion in the offering, which is not true at all (or at
least, extremely unlikely). The details show that Google is likely to
bring
in about $1.66 billion (and possibly as high as $1.9 billion at
the top of the range). That's because only 14.1 million of the 24.6
million shares are actually being sold by the company. The other 10.5
million are being sold by insiders. Now, that's a curious point that
no one seems to be focusing on. While insiders do sometimes sell
during an IPO, it generally doesn't look too good. While there are
plenty of reasons (liquidity, liquidity, liquidity) that people might
want to sell, usually insiders get locked up for a bit. It does
happen, but in this case, an awful lot of that $3.3 billion (or
whatever the amount actually is) isn't going to the company, but to
others. The initial IPO filing tried to spin all this insider selling
as a good thing, but that's pretty questionable. If people really
believe in the stock, why are so many selling it at the
very
first chance they get? Doesn't inspire the most confidence in the
world.

Story Of A 419 Victim
11/03/2003 01:28 PMI still can't believe people fall for Nigerian 419 scams any more.
The scam has been around for ages, and I get about five such scam
emails every day. You have to have been living in a hole not to know
about them, but apparently there are still plenty of people (with lots
of excess cash to throw away) who fall for it every day. While
authorities estimate that the vast majority of 419 scam victims never
admit what happened (mostly out of embarrassment for their own greed),
it appears the press has found
someone in
Singapore who's willing to admit just how greedy he was. He fell
for a typical 419 scam, and lost about $200,000 (US) - some of which
he'd borrowed. He's now trying to sell his house. He seems to
realize how stupid the whole thing was - or, at least - his wife is
making sure he realizes: "My wife said I use the handphone so much
that my brain is damaged. I think she's right. She said my eyes can
see only the dollar signs."

R profile. Chris Metzen. A creator of WoW. The
art of storytelling in online games.
Blue sky thought. Could online game story
telling be adapted to generate a real-world economic
activity (other than the sale of the game)? Imagine a corporate
story, written into immersive software, that generated real-world
economic results. If it was fun, people would play it 15
hours a day with a level of engagement you don't see in the
workplace. Players from all over the world would join.
What would that business be?
Passion for the story
Passion for the story
07/06/2004 05:14 AM
In my opinion, a reporter should be thirsty for information,
and passionate about conveying it. It should bother you that you got
the story wrong, and one should put aside pride or ego when the object
of your story tells you you got it wrong. Get out the notepad and get
the real story.
I think this is so basic, perhaps it should be a third tenet of
real reporting, along with 1. Disclose your interests. 2. Never
knowingly say something that's not true.
In the last flamefest, this is what separated the real
reporters, professional or amateur, from the space-occupiers. Did they
care what the actual story was, or were they just bloating the
blogosphere with more uninformed crap. Mostly, unfortunately, it was
the latter.

05/22/2004 03:38 PMFor those interested in navel gazing journalism, read my account of
how Wi-Fi Networking News broke the Cometa Networks story: Other sites
and publications were sometimes gracious, sometimes not about
assigning us credit for having been the first to report on the event.
Why does this matter? Because more and more breaking news important to
the people particularly interested in the subject is appearing on Web
logs, not in newspapers or on media Web sites. Trying to subtract from
this forum and similar fora's ability to report is an attempt to
lessen the legitimacy of the work we're doing here....

northern Iraq on April 6, a US Navy jet launched a bomb into a crowd
of US and Kurdish soldiers who a BBC team were accompanying. In the
seconds that followed, BBC cameraman Fred Scott began to film
the
disaster as it unfolded, footage which was heavily censored when
shown on US news.

The Story of Cryptome
08/14/2004 05:00 PMDoes Web Information Help Terrorists?: Here's a news
story about how the government was interested in the owner of a site
called Cryptome (found via Boing Boing) which specializes
in shining a spotlight on publicly available information.
Officials questioned Young about information he had posted about
the 2004 Democratic National Convention, including satellite photos of
the convention site and the location of specific police barricades
referred to on the site as "a complete joke."
[...] When asked how he would respond to those who consider his Web
site unpatriotic since it could provide useful information for those
who seek to harm the United States, Young said, "If this is not done,
more Americans are going to die. More harm is going to come to the
United States. It is more patriotic to get information out than to
withhold it."
Officials acknowledge there is not much they can do; Young has not
broken any laws.
This discussion reminds me of the controversy surrounding th
e fight over strong crypto.

A Traveling Story
A Traveling Story
01/06/2005 12:01 PMI just got back to Washington after a long trip over the holidays
back home to Wisconsin. I wanted to pass along a quick story from my
trip.
While waiting for my flight out of Seattle, I ran into a
staff photographer from the Chicago Tribune. He does photos for the
hardcopy paper only, not the online version. He was in Seattle for a
story they were running on Boeing. I asked him what he used for a
camera, certain it was a 35mm but was shocked to hear they converted a
few years ago to Digital. But then the real surprise came, they use a
Nikon D1H, an old 3 megapixel SLR Digital. I asked why only a 3
megapixel camera and he told me that it was all they needed for news
print quality. This year they are converting to a D2X which is a 12
megapixel camera, but they are in no rush. He travels with a Mac iBook
and uploads the photos via FTP to the Trib's server every evening.
Just goes to show you that the megapixel aspect of a digital
camera is not as important as some companies tend to make you believe.

IM Story of the Year (So Far)!
02/01/2005 10:09 PMAn email message I received today from the Head of Adult
Services at my local
library:
“I recently set up an AIM screen name for the reference
desk, with the aim (ha!) of publicizing our IM availability soon. We
haven't told
anyone about it yet. Nothing on the website,
no cards or fliers, no nothing.
Except our AIM
profile, that is. A resident teen looked us up and IM'd me this
afternoon, asking if we had a certain book in. I was pretty
amazed.
And I realized I need to print a glossary to keep
at the desk.”
He shoots, he scores!

 More on the End
of Oil:
And we're nearing the End of the Bubble:
- James Grant in the NYT warns the stock market bubble is as bad as ever, and
Greenspan is to blame,
But if you Ask the People:
- They think too much is spent on defense and war and not
enough on health, education, renewable energy, jobs and deficit
reduction;
Meanwhile Nero Keeps Fiddling:
- Bush appoints a redneck who hates the UN as the ambassador to the UN, paving the
way for US withdrawal, and
- Robert Byrd warns
eloquently that the new legislation to end filibusters means the end
of
free speech, the end of the right of dissent, and the end of minority
rights in America
And Don't Count on Business to Help Out:
- Two new surveys show US investment in innovation is in a tailspin.
There are disturbing signs that hot on the heels of the End of Oil will come the End of Water. So put a
rainbarrel on your shopping list along with the hybrid or Smart Car.
Thanks to reader David Parkinson and Innovation Weekly for some of the
