I heard that Google is contemplating giving everyone with gmail accounts automatic Google+ accounts. The user interface is pretty ugly compared to facebook, as is with most Google products. But if they do force it on everyone, it'll probably work...

You have to consult with either a broker agency or your bank and simply open a ban account which will allow you to buy and sell for stocks, etfs, bonds etc. Look around what different banks have to offer, because the trading prices can greatly differ.
I'm looking forward to FB going public, seems like a good investment.

Higher the price of the stock the lower the potential returns are.
Buying a symbol just for the name isn't investing, its absurd.

again'
wrong
Companies can always split / reverse-split your stock and alter the price by a multiple (See Citigroup)
Let me rephrase your statement, the higher the market cap, the lower potential returns are.
You can have a 100bn market cap company with $5/share stocks and a 5bn company with $100/share stocks,
The 5bn company has far more scale potential

I'm an investment banker, with lead-left IPO experience though.
Judging from your post, it's safe to say you've never read an S-1 in your life....let alone help write one
I'm not a managing director, but I wouldn't call myself...."no-one":
When you go on a roadshow, write selling memos, equity commitment memos,attend dozens of drafting sessions, run the financial model and spend time with a c-level management team...then you have the right to talk down to me in my own field.
Until then, you are dismissed.

But also if they shove it down people's throats and users simply don't like how it works it could negatively impact the brand.
Throwedindagame- You got time to answer some questions on PM?

Morgan Stanley is serving as the underwriters.
They're going to do an initial pricing of $35-$40 which is an excellent price to reel in the un-saavy institutional investors who'll be creaming over this regardless. As for your average individual, It'll probably reach $75-$80 in the secondary market.
Honestly, I feel that FB has already reached it's capacity, and they don't have much room to grow. I would not be going long on this one.
Morgan Stanley's Equity Capital Markets team is gonna be poppin bottles all the way to the bank though

price is irrelevant.
It's about market cap and valuation.
If you have $100 and FB prices at $100 or $1. you buy 1 or 100 stocks respectively.
If FB goes to 120Bn, you make the same amount of money.
Simple math dude.

Google Shoves a Account for regular google things like Gmail the moment you start up a android phone. All it takes is alot of market research and then a overhaul of the current G+. Once everyone is forced to have a account they will slowly start using it more and more.

I hate google for that I feel like they're always tracking what u do.
And I wish I could get in at the same time as these institutions for a quick profit.

i'm prob gonna grab a few shares depending on ipo price... but me having to disclose will take me longer leading me to buy it at an inflated price.
btw, i expect ms to left lead with a marketcap somewhere around 80-90 billion

ThrowedInDaGame is correct. Price is irrelevant. The (price) x (total number of shares) is relevant.

If it opens at 38-40, I wonder how far it runs up. Would love some Zillow action and see 60.
