For some reason the Facebook IPO reminds me of when Steve Case sold AOL to TimeWarner in 2000.
From the AOL wikipedia page :-
"AOL is best known for its online software suite, also called AOL, that allowed customers to access the world's largest "walled garden" online community and eventually reach out to the Internet as a whole."
At the time it was held in high regard for getting such a massive online user base (around 34 million) - which is a bit paltry by today's standards.
