The stock opened at $45.10 a share on its first day of trading, 73 percent above its initial offering price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's gone on pretty flawlessly,\" says JJ Kinahan, chief strategist at TD Ameritrade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stock is now trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol \"TWTR.\" It's the most highly anticipated initial public stock offering since Facebook debuted last year. More than an hour into trading, the stock is holding steady. This tight range of trading, Kinahan says, indicates that people \"feel like it was pretty fairly priced.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The opening price values Twitter Inc. at $31 billion, which puts it in in range of KFC and Pizza Hut owner Yum Brands, tractor and tool maker Deere & Co. and slightly below State Street Corp., a financial services holding company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It clearly shows that demand exceeds the supply of shares,\" says Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter. \"It's impossible to know what the real value is.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter's shares jumped as high as $50.09 on Thursday morning and were up $19.14, or 73.6 percent, at $45.14 in midday trading amid a broader market decline. Tech stocks were broadly down as well, with Facebook Inc. sliding $1.02, or 2.1 percent, to $48.10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier in the day, Twitter gave users the opportunity to ring NYSE's opening bell instead of executives. The users included Sir Patrick Stewart, Captain Jean-Luc Picard in \"Star Trek: The Next Generation\"; Vivienne Harr, a 9-year-old girl who ran a lemonade stand for a year to raise money to end child slavery; and Cheryl Fiandaca of the Boston Police Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter's initial public offering was carefully orchestrated to avoid the glitches and eventual letdown that surrounded Facebook's initial public offering on the Nasdaq 18 months ago. Still, it's the most highly anticipated IPO since its Silicon Valley rival's 2012 debut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In hindsight when you look at this you almost think they left a little too much money on the table,\" says Roger Entner of Recon Analytics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Entner means is that Twitter raised $1.8 billion Wednesday night when it sold 70 million shares at $26 each. Had it priced the stock at $30, for instance, the company would have taken away $2.1 billion. At $35, it would have reaped nearly $2.5 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At $26 per share, Twitter was valued at more than $18 billion based on its outstanding stock, options and restricted stock expected to be available after the IPO. That already put it above Macy's and Bed Bath & Beyond. Facebook Inc.'s value, meanwhile, stood at $104 billion at the time of its IPO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter, named after the sound of a chirping bird, got its start 7 years ago, first with Jack Dorsey and then Evan Williams as CEO. Its current chief is Dick Costolo, a former Google executive who once aspired to be a stand-up comedian. On March 21, 2006, Dorsey posted the world's first tweet: \"Just setting up my twttr.\" Noah Glass, who helped create Twitter posted the same words just 10 minutes later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the social network that lets users send short messages in 140-character bursts has attracted world leaders, religious icons and celebrities, along with CEOs, businesses and a slew of marketers and self-promoters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tempering expectations was a big theme in the weeks leading up to Twitter's IPO, but that all but flew out the window with the stock's opening surge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Twitter now just has to deliver on all this,\" Entner says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company tried to avoid the trouble that plagued Facebook's high-profile offering. Facebook's public debut was marred by technical glitches on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. As a result, the Securities and Exchange Commission fined Nasdaq $10 million, the largest ever levied against an exchange. Those problems likely led Twitter to the NYSE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter is also likely hoping for a first-day pop of its shares that eluded Facebook's stock. Facebook's shares closed just 23 cents above their $38 IPO price on their first trading day. They traded below $38 for more than a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, $18 billion is a lofty valuation for Twitter compared with its peers. At its IPO price, Twitter valued at roughly 28 times its projected 2013 revenue —$650 million based on its current growth rate. In comparison, Facebook trades at about 16 times its projected 2013 revenue, according to analyst forecasts from FactSet. Google Inc. meanwhile, is trading at about 7 times its net revenue, the figure Wall Street follows that excludes ad commissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Research firm Outsell Inc. puts Twitter's fundamental value at about half of the IPO price, says analyst Ken Doctor. That figure is based on factors such as revenue and revenue growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's not unusual,\" Doctor says. \"Especially for tech companies. You are betting on a big future.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of Twitter's biggest challenges as a newly public company will be to generate more revenue outside the U.S. More than three-quarters of Twitter's 232 million users are outside the U.S. But only 26 percent of Twitter's revenue comes from abroad. The company has said that it plans to bring in more international revenue by hiring more sales representatives in countries such as Australia, Brazil and Ireland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pricing means Twitter raised $1.8 billion in the offering before expenses. Twitter was offering 70 million shares in the IPO, plus an option to buy another 10.5 million. If all shares are sold, the IPO will raise $2.09 billion, making it the biggest IPO for an Internet company since Facebook raised $16 billion last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter, which has never turned a profit in 7 years of existence, had originally set a price range of $17 to $20 per share for the IPO, but that was an obvious lowball designed to temper expectations. It was widely expected that the price range would go higher. Back in August, for example, the company priced some of its employee stock options at $20.62, based on an appraisal by an investment firm and it's unlikely to have lost value since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter's shares enter a frothy market. The Dow Jones industrial average closed at a record high on Wednesday, up 128 points, or 0.8 percent, to 15,746. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose seven points, or 0.4 percent, to 1,770, just one point below its own all-time high.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>AP Technology Writer Michael Liedtke in San Francisco and AP Markets Writer Ken Sweet in New York contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

If all shares are sold, the IPO will raise $2.09 billion, making it the biggest IPO for an Internet company since Facebook raised $16 billion last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter, which has never turned a profit in 7 years of existence, had originally set a price range of $17 to $20 per share for the IPO, but that was an obvious lowball designed to temper expectations. It was widely expected that the price range would go higher. Back in August, for example, the company priced some of its employee stock options at $20.62, based on an appraisal by an investment firm and it's unlikely to have lost value since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twitter's shares enter a frothy market. The Dow Jones industrial average closed at a record high on Wednesday, up 128 points, or 0.8 percent, to 15,746. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose seven points, or 0.4 percent, to 1,770, just one point below its own all-time high.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On appeal, Judge Kurt D. Englehardt said that was an ethical violation so egregious it deprived the officers of their right to a fair trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco attorney Mark L. Tuft, a partner with Cooper, White & Cooper LLP who advises lawyers on their ethical obligations, said the reversal of the convictions should serve as a wake-up call to lawyers to watch what they post.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is an extraordinary example of the impact of social media on the justice system,” Tuft said.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>California Might Be Different\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, it’s not clear that a judge in California would have come to the same conclusion as the federal judge in New Orleans. Tuft said the laws in California governing social media use are different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very difficult in California to overturn a conviction based upon prosecutorial misconduct unless the court finds that the conduct had a likely effect on the outcome of the case,” Tuft said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Supreme Court has upheld convictions in cases even when prosecutors used media in questionable ways. In one, a prosecutor moonlighting as an author wrote a book that seemed based on the very case she was about to prosecute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another, a prosecutor gave information about a murder suspect to a Hollywood producer, who turned the material into the 2006 movie “Alpha Dog,” starring Justin Timberlake as the victim. The suspect later went on trial and was sentenced to life in prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While those convictions were upheld, lawyers say they have to be more careful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“\u003c/strong>It’s kind of like the old Miranda warning where they said, ‘Whatever you say can be used against you,' ’' said San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi. \"Remember that whatever you post can be used against you, too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Intern's Facebook Post Disaster\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Adachi said his office has faced problems with employees using social media. A few years ago, an intern posted information on Facebook about a case she was working on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was a wake-up call for us that we need to make sure that we train all of our staff not to post sensitive information,\" he said. \"Because what’s sensitive to one person may not be sensitive to another.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while many of the cases involving social media arise in the criminal context, some lawyers are also getting into trouble for social media use in civil and business contexts. Last week, the online review site Yelp sued a San Diego law firm because its lawyers allegedly posted fake reviews of the firm. The lawyers deny they did anything wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"mceItemEmbedly\">\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly\">\u003ciframe width=\"640\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F112664113&show_artwork=true&maxwidth=900\">\u003c/iframe>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"embedly-powered\" style=\"float:right\">\u003ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://embed.ly?src=anywhere\" title=\"Powered by Embedly\">\u003cimg src=\"http://static.embed.ly/images/logos/embedly-powered-small-light.png\" alt=\"Embedly Powered\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"media-attribution\">\u003cspan>via \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://soundcloud.com\" class=\"media-attribution-link\" target=\"_blank\">SoundCloud\u003c/a>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

On appeal, Judge Kurt D. Englehardt said that was an ethical violation so egregious it deprived the officers of their right to a fair trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco attorney Mark L. Tuft, a partner with Cooper, White & Cooper LLP who advises lawyers on their ethical obligations, said the reversal of the convictions should serve as a wake-up call to lawyers to watch what they post.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is an extraordinary example of the impact of social media on the justice system,” Tuft said.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>California Might Be Different\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, it’s not clear that a judge in California would have come to the same conclusion as the federal judge in New Orleans. Tuft said the laws in California governing social media use are different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very difficult in California to overturn a conviction based upon prosecutorial misconduct unless the court finds that the conduct had a likely effect on the outcome of the case,” Tuft said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Supreme Court has upheld convictions in cases even when prosecutors used media in questionable ways. In one, a prosecutor moonlighting as an author wrote a book that seemed based on the very case she was about to prosecute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another, a prosecutor gave information about a murder suspect to a Hollywood producer, who turned the material into the 2006 movie “Alpha Dog,” starring Justin Timberlake as the victim. The suspect later went on trial and was sentenced to life in prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While those convictions were upheld, lawyers say they have to be more careful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“\u003c/strong>It’s kind of like the old Miranda warning where they said, ‘Whatever you say can be used against you,' ’' said San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi. \"Remember that whatever you post can be used against you, too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Intern's Facebook Post Disaster\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Adachi said his office has faced problems with employees using social media. A few years ago, an intern posted information on Facebook about a case she was working on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was a wake-up call for us that we need to make sure that we train all of our staff not to post sensitive information,\" he said. \"Because what’s sensitive to one person may not be sensitive to another.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while many of the cases involving social media arise in the criminal context, some lawyers are also getting into trouble for social media use in civil and business contexts. Last week, the online review site Yelp sued a San Diego law firm because its lawyers allegedly posted fake reviews of the firm. The lawyers deny they did anything wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"mceItemEmbedly\">\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly\">\u003ciframe width=\"640\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F112664113&show_artwork=true&maxwidth=900\">\u003c/iframe>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"embedly-powered\" style=\"float:right\">\u003ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://embed.ly?src=anywhere\" title=\"Powered by Embedly\">\u003cimg src=\"http://static.embed.ly/images/logos/embedly-powered-small-light.png\" alt=\"Embedly Powered\">\u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"media-attribution\">\u003cspan>via \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://soundcloud.com\" class=\"media-attribution-link\" target=\"_blank\">SoundCloud\u003c/a>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"embedly-clear\">\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Here are a few of the headliner developments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Google-Waze\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, Google announced it had bought the social traffic and navigation app Waze, reportedly for $1.3 billion, which seems to be the market range for acquiring the flashiest startups these days.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The search giant already has Google Maps, of course, so why scoop up Waze?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the heart of this Israeli startup are dedicated communities of drivers who share driving information in real time, alerting each other to accidents, road work and other traffic issues along the route ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This fast-growing community of traffic-obsessed drivers is working together to find the best routes from home to work every day,” explained Google’s Brian McClendon, vice president, Geo, on the company\u003ca href=\"http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2013/06/google-maps-and-waze-outsmarting.html\"> blog\u003c/a>. “We’ll … work closely with the vibrant Waze community, who are the DNA of this app, to ensure they have what’s needed to grow and prosper.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(It) is used by something like 105 percent of the population here, statistically speaking,” said Amalyah Keshet of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. “It’s a simple expression of the ancient and honorable Israeli habit of giving wanted or unwanted advice – especially about where to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just last night, a friend arrived at my house after Waze told her it would take her 14 minutes from where she was. She mentally bet the program that it would take at least 15 minutes. It took 14.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waze is notably international in scope, with around 50 million users in some 110 countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, a nonprofit group, Consumer Watchdog, \u003ca href=\"http://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2013/06/12/consumer-watchdog-urges-feds-to-block.html?ana=e_du_pub&s=article_du&ed=2013-06-12&u=w2yEyouscoSS9s5yw9jRjLxWrh0&t=1371142404\">urged\u003c/a> the Federal Trade Commission to block the acquisition because it could result in Google attaining a monopoly over mapping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Facebook-Twitter\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two most prominent social media companies picked this week to extend each other the sincerest form of flattery. First, early on Wednesday, Facebook \u003ca href=\"http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/06/12/facebook-adds-hashtags-to-organize-public-conversations/\">announced\u003c/a> it has introduced the hashtag search feature to its interface, years after the Twitter user base invented it at the microblogging site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not to be outdone, Twitter soft-launched Wednesday night its new \u003ca href=\"http://www.digitalspy.com/tech/news/a490156/twitter-adds-followme-highlights-reel-feature.html\">#FollowMe \u003c/a>feature that allows users to easily create movies that depict their social footprint, including their top tweets, photos and followers. As much as hashtags have been identified with Twitter, the follow concept has long been identified with Facebook\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Uber – Sidecar – Lyft\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The on-demand transportation sector had a bit of a dustup this week as Uber\u003ca href=\"http://techcrunch.com/2013/06/12/targeting-lyft-and-sidecar-uber-confirms-price-cut-on-uberx-rides-in-san-francisco/\"> announced\u003c/a> it is cutting prices for its UberX rides to compete more directly with ride-sharing startups Lyft and Sidecar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UberX is a cheaper version of its pricier black town car service, and usually involves hybrid vehicles. Those taking rides from Lyft and Sidecar pay an optional donation to drivers who drive them across town — usually the amount suggested on the apps as determined by the companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lyft cars are distinguished by the large pink mustache normally displayed on the front of the vehicle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This sector is actually even more crowded as companies including RelayRides, Wheelz, Getaround and Flywheel all present variations on the theme. Flywheel works directly with the taxi companies, whereas the others are often seen as disrupters of the taxi industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California PUC has been investigating some of the car-sharing companies and is rewriting its rules governing their operations in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NSA Data Collection Update\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google’s Chief Legal Officer David Drummond \u003ca href=\"http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2013/06/asking-us-government-to-allow-google-to.html\">published\u003c/a> his letter to the U.S. attorney general and the FBI director on the corporate blog complaining, “Assertions in the press that our compliance with these requests gives the U.S. government unfettered access to our users’ data are simply untrue. However, government nondisclosure obligations regarding the number of FISA national security requests that Google receives, as well as the number of accounts covered by those requests, fuel that speculation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drummond asked to be able to publish in its Transparency Report the “aggregate numbers of national security requests, including FISA disclosures — in terms of both the number we receive and their scope. Google’s numbers would clearly show that our compliance with these requests falls far short of the claims being made. Google has nothing to hide.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, an array of advocacy groups has been organizing opposition to the government’s massive data collection effort. Hosted by Mozilla, the browser company, a website called “\u003ca href=\"http://thenextweb.com/insider/2013/06/13/stop-watching-us-a-group-opposed-to-nsa-surveillance-scorches-past-100000-signatures/\">Stop Watching Us\u003c/a>” gathered more than 100,000 signatures in the first 48 hours after it launched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The revelations about the National Security Agency’s surveillance apparatus, if true, represent a stunning abuse of our basic rights,” the site said. “We demand the U.S. Congress reveal the full extent of the NSA’s spying programs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED News’s Stephanie Martin \u003ca href=\"I%20don%E2%80%99t%20think%20we%20really%20have%20a%20clear%20view%20of%20where%20the%20public%20is%20on%20this%20yet.%20The%20numbers%20are%20quite%20close,%20and%20the%20number%20that%E2%80%99s%20being%20cited%20as%20a%20majority%20is%20really%20focused%20on%20the%20part%20about%20surveillance%20of%20telephone%20conversations.%20But%20a%20majority%20of%20those%20who%20were%20polled%20said%20they%20are%20not%20comfortable%20with%20their%20online%20communications%20being%20monitored.%20I%20think%20when%20people%20learn%20the%20facts%20they%20will%20be%20outraged,%20and%20this%20is%20not%20something%20that%20they%E2%80%99re%20going%20to%20be%20comfortable%20with.\">asked\u003c/a> Mozilla’s privacy and public policy leader Alex Fowler, who helped spearhead the project, about research indicating most Americans are not overly concerned about the surveillance program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think we really have a clear view of where the public is on this yet,” Fowler stated. “The numbers are quite close, and the number that’s being cited as a majority is really focused on the part about surveillance of telephone conversations. But a majority of those who were polled said they are not comfortable with their online communications being monitored. I think when people learn the facts they will be outraged, and this is not something that they’re going to be comfortable with.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

She mentally bet the program that it would take at least 15 minutes. It took 14.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waze is notably international in scope, with around 50 million users in some 110 countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, a nonprofit group, Consumer Watchdog, \u003ca href=\"http://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2013/06/12/consumer-watchdog-urges-feds-to-block.html?ana=e_du_pub&s=article_du&ed=2013-06-12&u=w2yEyouscoSS9s5yw9jRjLxWrh0&t=1371142404\">urged\u003c/a> the Federal Trade Commission to block the acquisition because it could result in Google attaining a monopoly over mapping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Facebook-Twitter\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two most prominent social media companies picked this week to extend each other the sincerest form of flattery. First, early on Wednesday, Facebook \u003ca href=\"http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/06/12/facebook-adds-hashtags-to-organize-public-conversations/\">announced\u003c/a> it has introduced the hashtag search feature to its interface, years after the Twitter user base invented it at the microblogging site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not to be outdone, Twitter soft-launched Wednesday night its new \u003ca href=\"http://www.digitalspy.com/tech/news/a490156/twitter-adds-followme-highlights-reel-feature.html\">#FollowMe \u003c/a>feature that allows users to easily create movies that depict their social footprint, including their top tweets, photos and followers. As much as hashtags have been identified with Twitter, the follow concept has long been identified with Facebook\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Uber – Sidecar – Lyft\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The on-demand transportation sector had a bit of a dustup this week as Uber\u003ca href=\"http://techcrunch.com/2013/06/12/targeting-lyft-and-sidecar-uber-confirms-price-cut-on-uberx-rides-in-san-francisco/\"> announced\u003c/a> it is cutting prices for its UberX rides to compete more directly with ride-sharing startups Lyft and Sidecar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UberX is a cheaper version of its pricier black town car service, and usually involves hybrid vehicles. Those taking rides from Lyft and Sidecar pay an optional donation to drivers who drive them across town — usually the amount suggested on the apps as determined by the companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lyft cars are distinguished by the large pink mustache normally displayed on the front of the vehicle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This sector is actually even more crowded as companies including RelayRides, Wheelz, Getaround and Flywheel all present variations on the theme. Flywheel works directly with the taxi companies, whereas the others are often seen as disrupters of the taxi industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California PUC has been investigating some of the car-sharing companies and is rewriting its rules governing their operations in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NSA Data Collection Update\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google’s Chief Legal Officer David Drummond \u003ca href=\"http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2013/06/asking-us-government-to-allow-google-to.html\">published\u003c/a> his letter to the U.S. attorney general and the FBI director on the corporate blog complaining, “Assertions in the press that our compliance with these requests gives the U.S. government unfettered access to our users’ data are simply untrue. However, government nondisclosure obligations regarding the number of FISA national security requests that Google receives, as well as the number of accounts covered by those requests, fuel that speculation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drummond asked to be able to publish in its Transparency Report the “aggregate numbers of national security requests, including FISA disclosures — in terms of both the number we receive and their scope. Google’s numbers would clearly show that our compliance with these requests falls far short of the claims being made. Google has nothing to hide.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, an array of advocacy groups has been organizing opposition to the government’s massive data collection effort. Hosted by Mozilla, the browser company, a website called “\u003ca href=\"http://thenextweb.com/insider/2013/06/13/stop-watching-us-a-group-opposed-to-nsa-surveillance-scorches-past-100000-signatures/\">Stop Watching Us\u003c/a>” gathered more than 100,000 signatures in the first 48 hours after it launched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The revelations about the National Security Agency’s surveillance apparatus, if true, represent a stunning abuse of our basic rights,” the site said. “We demand the U.S. Congress reveal the full extent of the NSA’s spying programs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED News’s Stephanie Martin \u003ca href=\"I%20don%E2%80%99t%20think%20we%20really%20have%20a%20clear%20view%20of%20where%20the%20public%20is%20on%20this%20yet.%20The%20numbers%20are%20quite%20close,%20and%20the%20number%20that%E2%80%99s%20being%20cited%20as%20a%20majority%20is%20really%20focused%20on%20the%20part%20about%20surveillance%20of%20telephone%20conversations.%20But%20a%20majority%20of%20those%20who%20were%20polled%20said%20they%20are%20not%20comfortable%20with%20their%20online%20communications%20being%20monitored.%20I%20think%20when%20people%20learn%20the%20facts%20they%20will%20be%20outraged,%20and%20this%20is%20not%20something%20that%20they%E2%80%99re%20going%20to%20be%20comfortable%20with.\">asked\u003c/a> Mozilla’s privacy and public policy leader Alex Fowler, who helped spearhead the project, about research indicating most Americans are not overly concerned about the surveillance program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think we really have a clear view of where the public is on this yet,” Fowler stated. “The numbers are quite close, and the number that’s being cited as a majority is really focused on the part about surveillance of telephone conversations. But a majority of those who were polled said they are not comfortable with their online communications being monitored. I think when people learn the facts they will be outraged, and this is not something that they’re going to be comfortable with.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It came out of the box last May with an extraordinarily high valuation of $38 a share, which slumped to half last fall, and has remained for the most part under $30.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The company is losing younger users to more visually oriented competitors such as Tumblr and Pinterest, adds initial public offering (IPO) analyst Sam Hamadeh, CEO of PrivCo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The new re-design helps make Facebook for visual and hopes to help address this trend and stop it before it becomes irreversible,\" he said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Users' migration to mobile has created problems for Facebook because smaller screens leave less space for ads. On a desktop screen, most ads appear on the right-hand column. On a smartphone, there is no right-hand column.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advertisers have had some access to the users' news stream. They could not buy advertising that appeared there, but if you or one of your friends have \"liked\" a business, updates from the business could appear in your news feed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even then, the parameters of the news feed meant that only small photos or videos could appear, limiting the hooks that might lure users to click on links. In the new design, these images can be larger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Changes to Facebook's news feed will make a big difference to advertisers, as well, said Wilkerson. Facebook announced these four new categories of news feed:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>- All Friends - a feed that shows you everything your friends are sharing\u003cbr>\n- Photos - a feed with nothing but photos from your friends and the Pages you like\u003cbr>\n- Music - a feed with posts about the music you listen to\u003cbr>\n- Following - a feed with the latest news from the Pages you like and the people you follow.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>This last category, \"Following\" will appeal to advertisers, said Wilkerson. That's because Facebook currently uses an algorithm to determine the order in which updates appear in your regular news feed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you have \"liked\" Acme Manure Company, its hot announcement about new fertilizer bags might get buried under your best friend's announcement about her engagement, or your uncle's update about the illness of his cat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the new design, when you visit your \"Following\" news feed, updates will display in chronological order, so the fertilizer bag announcement will be right on the top until something newer comes along.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The change also comes with a downside for advertisers though, as \u003ca href=\"http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/07/for-businesses-facebook-redesign-means-bigger-ads-a-pages-feed-but-friends-only-section-too/\">TechCrunch\u003c/a> reports:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>On the flip side, there are now areas of Facebook where no Pages or public figures can show up. The Friends-Only feed could specifically be problematic for businesses.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Under the new arrangement, Acme Manure's announcements won't appear in the Friends-Only feed unless it is your friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on balance, investors seem to think the move is a good one. The stock closed up 4 percent at $28.57 a share.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It came out of the box last May with an extraordinarily high valuation of $38 a share, which slumped to half last fall, and has remained for the most part under $30.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The company is losing younger users to more visually oriented competitors such as Tumblr and Pinterest, adds initial public offering (IPO) analyst Sam Hamadeh, CEO of PrivCo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The new re-design helps make Facebook for visual and hopes to help address this trend and stop it before it becomes irreversible,\" he said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Users' migration to mobile has created problems for Facebook because smaller screens leave less space for ads. On a desktop screen, most ads appear on the right-hand column. On a smartphone, there is no right-hand column.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advertisers have had some access to the users' news stream. They could not buy advertising that appeared there, but if you or one of your friends have \"liked\" a business, updates from the business could appear in your news feed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even then, the parameters of the news feed meant that only small photos or videos could appear, limiting the hooks that might lure users to click on links. In the new design, these images can be larger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Changes to Facebook's news feed will make a big difference to advertisers, as well, said Wilkerson. Facebook announced these four new categories of news feed:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>- All Friends - a feed that shows you everything your friends are sharing\u003cbr>\n- Photos - a feed with nothing but photos from your friends and the Pages you like\u003cbr>\n- Music - a feed with posts about the music you listen to\u003cbr>\n- Following - a feed with the latest news from the Pages you like and the people you follow.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>This last category, \"Following\" will appeal to advertisers, said Wilkerson. That's because Facebook currently uses an algorithm to determine the order in which updates appear in your regular news feed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you have \"liked\" Acme Manure Company, its hot announcement about new fertilizer bags might get buried under your best friend's announcement about her engagement, or your uncle's update about the illness of his cat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the new design, when you visit your \"Following\" news feed, updates will display in chronological order, so the fertilizer bag announcement will be right on the top until something newer comes along.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The change also comes with a downside for advertisers though, as \u003ca href=\"http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/07/for-businesses-facebook-redesign-means-bigger-ads-a-pages-feed-but-friends-only-section-too/\">TechCrunch\u003c/a> reports:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>On the flip side, there are now areas of Facebook where no Pages or public figures can show up. The Friends-Only feed could specifically be problematic for businesses.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Under the new arrangement, Acme Manure's announcements won't appear in the Friends-Only feed unless it is your friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on balance, investors seem to think the move is a good one. The stock closed up 4 percent at $28.57 a share.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
