Facebook:-11% on the stock exchange to start the week

Facebook déchante for its second meeting on the Nasdaq, the action falls to $ 34.

Back in detail, as we did yesterday, that the introduction of Facebook on the stock exchange and the timidity of the markets that are measured to the Internet phenomenon and had just enabled the social network completed its first day of Nasdaq rating on the rise, it should be noted that the second meeting of Facebook on Wall Street is not passed.

Indeed, yesterday Monday 21 may, Facebook title ended the day at $ 34.03, 10.99% lower, while the action was - on the reminds - introduced to $ 38. Identify the range of introduction and decisions to increase the number of titles on the market in the last hours of 25% are not really their fruit.

It recalls that enhancement of the action to its introduction was about 100 times the results of the company, then as major of the high-tech sector (Apple and Google) traded on Wall Street at best between 14 and 19 times the results companies.

Something tells us that Facebook had the eyes bigger than belly for his introduction on the stock exchange, although this allowed the company to write his name in history with new records beaten the early hours (including on the number of action) exchanged at the first session.

Very soft start for the.XXX

The .xxx lack conviction, little used by Internet users and shunned by the industrial sector...

The ICANN and ICM Registry come to disclose figures on bookings of .xxx domain names, and the first analyses indicate any relative success. Indeed, even if 215.835 .xxx domain names have been reserved, 82.976 were done as a preventive measure by celebrities or trademarks.

But despite the reservations 132.859 corresponding to sites for adults, there is that 27.555 .xxx currently online sites. And on Alexa, only 61 of these sites are classified among the one million most visited sites, even though this ranking has a very large number of pornographic sites in .com.

It is not a surprise when we know that most of the players in this industry refuse to give their confidence to the .xxx, if it matters together behind a common extension easily visible, exposing all the more to blockages of the TLD (and even outright censorship in some countries prohibiting pornography such as the India or the Saudi Arabia).

Finally, it tends to show a latest trend: If the .xxx does not convince professionals, he convinced nor users that are not many to enter the URL ending with .xxx in their browsers.
