This is why the existing venture investors were upset by offers by other investors in the $3-6B range. Zuckerberg is still at the helm because he controls a majority of the board seats. I am guessing that the investors and Facebook senior executives would prefer a more seasoned CEO, but at present Mark holds all the cards. Yes…to set a recent benchmark for valuation before the IPO.

Russians have been buying Western symbols since the fall of the Soviet Union and era of "wild capitalism". Moreover, who knows the value of information and social networking better than Russians after several centuries of heavy state authoritarianism and censorship. I would cite the samizdat distribution systems as a proto-social network (sharing lit, news, music, etc.). It's all about connections here. That said, I was more interested in the fact that DST seems to have a sizable stake in вконтакте - which in many ways (color scheme included) is/was a Facebook clone.
