All part of the anonymity of the internet... should we link it to a phone number (and get special features?). 

I don't know how they can completely forget Facebook, they should find a middle ground.

Charle,

Oh They had a strategy alright.

It was to make as much money as possible for Initial Investors(Investment Banks,VCs ,Insiders and Founders) at the cost of Retail Investors.

Guess what?

Retail Investors are tired of being ripped off for so long and have now abandoned the IPO market.

Message to Investment Bankers-

"You can keep passing your Hot Potatoes amongst yourselves."

Regards

Ashish.

Well, that's what happens when you go for the payday and not the best interest of your user base. They are now feeling the wrath of the market. Especially since they did not necessarily have a real strategy going into the IPO.

Crypto,

You are right. Facebook has a Big-BIg Battle up ahead as it tries to justify what it charges Advertisers for its Services.

It will be quite funny if this is what proves to be the Straw that Totally breaks the Camels back here.

Can you imagine a situation where,Analysts become more and more demanding of the Company Management(that they Monetize User Data) and then they say all the Data they have is Fake!!!

Won't be good for all Shareholders,Will it?

Regards

Ashish.

So I guess the fake accounts were created before this mechanism was rolled in.

You are right but wondering about Facebook algorithm with such anomaly with inability to detect ghost accounts.

It can ask users to supply their cell number and send a verification code via sms. User then key in this code to activate the account. This hassle process can reduce fake account to some extent.

You've heard the saying "the No. 1 supply chain risk is your people." That hasn't always been the case. But today's complex global supply chain requires a new type of multitalented employee. It's one who understands, finance, marketing, economics, is savvy with technology, graceful with relationships and can think analytically. Where are these people? Are universities properly preparing the next generation supply chain professionals? How do train your existing workforce for these new, demanding positions? Brian Fuller, editor-in-chief of EBN, will lead a 60-minute Avnet Velocity panel discussion that will ask and answer these and other questions swirling around today's supply-chain talent challenges.
