While the IPO was bad for investors, it was certainly good (financially) for Facebook. They definitely maximized their earnings from the IPO and Zuckerberg really made out well getting just under $38/share for his $1.1bn in shares.

In contrast to the Google IPO in which the stock skyrocketed on the first day and really took off after that. Google may have been able to extract quite a bit from their IPO than they did.
