I've been a fan of Yahoo since the beginning of time (or at least since Web history began). I've always thought of it as being a media company. Today, Yahoo is being led by the first CEO with real media chops in a very long time.

The Rio 20 Summit doesn't appear to have been updated to include a technology that was in its infancy in 1992 -- Information and Communications Technology (ICT).

Founder, CHINICT

With an online population of over 500 million and a consistent double digit growth rate, the region with the biggest stakes and the most significant prospects is none other than China.

Pop the corks. Light the sparklers. But please. Enough news already about Facebook's IPO. Facebook's public offering is everywhere -- on the web, on the radio, on TV. Does the public really care as much as the press seems to want it to?

Peter Diamandis essentially believes there are three main forces at work that, when coupled with the unprecedented power of growing technologies mentioned above, provide significant, abundance-producing potential.

For many companies, that "native versus HTML" is almost a religious debate. "Forcing a channel is a mistake," says GrubHub's founder Mike Evans.

Is it really preposterous that investors would assign a company that is defining a whole new category of communication as being worth one-half of Google and one-seventh of Apple? Of course not. There is not a bubble in Facebook shares, there is a bubble in calling bubbles.

Reviews found on such websites as Yelp, Google Places and Citysearch can make or break a local business.

Hunky goodness is (really) great and all, but the problem for me became the heartbreak. "NSA" means "No Strings Attached," and not the Mila Portman/Ashton Timberlake film but the reality that this encounter will never happen again.

It transpires that people have an aversion to corporate Twitter accounts. Trying solely to sell or link to your content is a faux-paux tantamount to having toilet roll escaping from your trousers at a dinner party.

In honor of a year together, our team at What's Trending created a retrospective of the top 60 memes of the past year in a minute.

It's electrifying here in Silicon Valley this week, even more so than usual. Normally, many of us are heads down, focused on our own companies, but right now, even in the land of "what's next?" all anyone can talk about is the Facebook IPO.

Jose Antonio Vargas, 05/14/12

Founder, Define American

This week's scheduled IPO is merely an extension of what's been happening in the past 8 years -- ordinary people from around the world investing on Facebook with their lives. It's not only Zuckerberg's Facebook -- it's our Facebook.

Much controversy has surrounded the use of remote-controlled drone aircraft in the war on terror. But another, still more awe-inducing possibility has emerged: taking human beings out of the decision loop altogether.

Rabbi Joshua Levine Grater, 05/14/12

Spiritual Leader, Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center

We are still in control of the world we are making. The power of love, the grounding of faith and the ancient wisdom to "think before you speak," are values that we are never too old, or too young, to embrace.

Honestly, whether Saverin becomes a Singapore citizen or not makes very little difference to the average Singaporean. His life here is so vastly different from ours that he might as well be living on Mars.

Melody Stevens, 05/14/12

We have crossed the line. Internet and technology use has ceased being about helpful tools to grow and sustain a business. Instead, in many cases it has become an obsession, a compulsion and an addiction.
