Interested in the Facebook IPO? That's certainly understandable. Judging by the media's coverage of the event, you'd think we were quickly approaching the second coming. Still, Facebook does deserve its due credit for revolutionizing the concept of social networking. On the flip side, Facebook, especially at the prices investors will need to pay to get their hands on some shares, is anything but a sure thing. And it's that conundrum that led Fools to raise questions. We opened our TMF social feed to the Fool universe to take your questions, and our analysts responded. So without further ado, here's what our tech analyst thinks of buying Facebook on Day 1.

I will not be buying Facebook. It will most likely be too expensive by the time of the first trade on the open markets and companies like these go by the wayside as their popularity wanes.

We often see that people buy up a lot of shares and then sell them off quickly, causing stock prices to drop, and THEN they buy up shares at the lower price after people sell based on seeing the drop. Do you think Facebook will be a target of short sellers on day 1 of its IPO?

1st and foremost FB is a cult... their value is based on ads displayed in the right-side navigation panel; most F500 companies have abandon the scam, 2011 GM did $10million, 2012 GM will do zero. FB is a social media cult, period.

I feel kinda cheated out of an actual article with this. Front page of TMF and it's just two paragraphs, neither with any info, and a link to the email buy-in? Shameful...
