Goldman Sachs predicts low oil prices
4 in 10 millennials are 'overwhelmed' by debt
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
One investor expects a springtime rally for Marvell Technology, which is off to a strong start in 2013. optionMONSTER's Heat Seeker monitoring system detected the purchase of 10,000 March 10 calls for $0.23 and the sale of 5,000 March 8 puts for $0.23. Volume was more than 40 times the previous open interest at each strike, clearly indicating new activity. The trade cost $115,000 and is similar to owning shares in the semiconductor company. If it climbs, the long calls will appreciate and the short puts will lose value, while the opposite will happen to the downside. The investor is also obligated to buy MRVL shares for $8 if they close below that level on expiration. (See our Education section for more on what it means to sell puts .) MRVL is down 1.46 percent to $8.76 in morning trading. The stock fell steadily in 2011 and 2012 but then found support around $7 in December and is up 22 percent since the start of this year. Total option volume is triple the daily average so far today, according to the Heat Seeker.

Research Associate Interview
I applied online – interviewed at Forrester Research.
They did a phone screening of about 30 minutes. Most of the questions were general and they just went over my resume and asked me questions about my experience at each internship. The interviewer was friendly and calm. I followed up with her through email but never got a reply.

Research Associate Interview
Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Forrester Research in June 2014.
Interview DetailsI applied online and within 30 minutes of submitting my application, HR contacted me about scheduling an interview. However, a couple of days before the interview, HR needed to reschedule which was not a problem. The day of the interview, I did not receive a call and I sent an email to follow up, in case something had come up and we needed to reschedule. However, it seems that the person I was supposed to interview with was actually out of the office the day she suggested we reschedule the interview. I never heard from them again.

Research Associate Interview
Application DetailsI applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Forrester Research in October 2013.
Interview DetailsInitial dialogue was made by a recruiter via Linked In in-mail. He/she would be the main contact in the hiring process.Then a phone interview as a screening process started within 1-2 weeks. If they felt the candidates have the right skill sets and background, they might bring them on-site for further group interview etc.
Interview Questions- No technical questions were asked during initial screening process. The corporate recruiters were easy going and asking basic questions regarding the candidates' work history and relevant project experience. View Answer

Research Associate Interview
Interview DetailsInitial Communication was great, but faded as the interview process got longer. The process was long - 1 phone interview with the HR Recruiter. This recruiter then becomes your contact for the rest of the process. I then had 2 separate phone interviews with different vice presidents, and one 4-hour in person interview. Also had to take a skills test during the in-person interview.
Interview Questions- A series of "either/or" questions that don't really have right or wrong answers. IE: "do you prefer working alone or in groups?" When I tried to say I can do both, the interviewer told me to pick one. Answer Question

Interview DetailsI got an email from a recruiter saying she wanted to connect and talk about my background because she thought I was a good fit. 30 minutes prior to the interview, she vowed rescheduled and I never set a date. I had to call another recruiter and speak with her. She told me she would contact me within a few days to speak with a hiring manager, and after 3 emails and a phone call on my behalf, I never heard back.

Research Associate Interview
Application DetailsI applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at Forrester Research in June 2012.
Interview DetailsSubmitted my application online and had a phone interview set up five business days later. The phone interview occurred roughly two weeks after I'd submitted my application and it was pretty standard: resume questions and personal experiences. The interviewer was friendly and the conversation pretty enjoyable. However, he did tell me near the end that this position would not reimburse candidate travel. Given that I was about a thousand miles away, I suggested setting up a skype interview in lieu of an in-person one. He seemed amenable to that but stated that the person making the decision would be the hiring manager, who never wrote me back (although a different position I interviewed for with Forrester was ok with a skype interview, so apparently it depends on the manager).
Interview Questions- The questions were pretty standard. Look at other reviews for more specifics but basically just know what the company does, what the position does, why you're interested, and how it fits into your background and future goals. Answer Question

Research Associate Interview
Application DetailsI applied through an employee referral. The process took 3+ months – interviewed at Forrester Research in April 2012.
Interview DetailsI found the hiring process to be fairly exhaustive for an entry-level position - I went through a phone screen with an HR person, then an additional half-hour screening with the hiring manager, then a 2.5-hour in-person interview with members of the hiring team. I was declined for the first position I interviewed for but HR recommended a different position for me, and I went through the whole process all over again - altogether it took 3 months between first interview and my start date.
Interview Questions- The questions were fairly straightforward and common - questions about ideal working environment, most difficult work environment, most difficult boss, etc - the hard part was talking about negative experiences in a positive light. Answer Question
Negotiation DetailsAs it was an entry-level position, negotiation was almost non-existent. Even before we got to the offer phase, the HR rep was very straightforward - "this is the starting salary and it's non-negotiable."Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview -

Research Associate Interview
Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 2+ weeks – interviewed at Forrester Research in July 2008.
Interview DetailsAfter applying Monster.com and Forrester's career website, I received an email from the Recruiter. I had an initial phone interview with the recruiter couple days later. Most of the questions were on my background, my familiarity with the company and what they do, and my experience of working with data. Once she realized I had some core competencies they were looking for, I had another phone interview with the Researcher from that team. This phone interview was more thorough. Asking about why I liked data, how much I felt comfortable with it, how I managed myself under stress, and examples of multitasking.
Few questions in there about what I liked to read and the reasons why. Basically trying to see if I was keeping up with Tech industry knowledge and what my personality was like.
After passing that test, I was asked to come in for an interview with the team. What I thought was an interview with 2-4 people, turned out to be an interview with 7! I was pretty exhausted at the end of it, but kept my energy up during the entire process which was one of the reasons I got hired (as well as my analytical background). The recruiter, understanding their website doesn't explain well the dynamics of Forrester's client groups, was great in breaking down to me IT, M&S, and Tech Industry groups before my interviews and answered questions I couldn't answer from my research of Forrester.
Each interviewer asked me different things. I met with the other RA on the team, an RA and Researcher from the sister team, 2 researchers from my team, the principal analyst, and the hiring manager (HM). The RA was mostly focused on what attracted me to Forrester and what I wanted out of it. The principal analyst was testing my data knowledge (have you done logistical regression before? for example), the other researcher on my team asked me a trick question to test if I can think on my feet, the HM asked me where I saw, etc.
Long process indeed, but to last at Forrester and be successful, you have to certain characteristics-- especially for the RA position, and HR makes sure of that.Interview Questions- If you could annex a state from the US, which one would it be and why? Answer Question

Comment by Jeremy Branham
Jeremy Branham April 23, 2013 at 4:37 pm
So disappointed that you didn't put a football match on this list
As you may be able to tell by now, we absolutely loved Lyon. And while the city may seem small, rest assured there is more than plenty to do during a visit. Here are some of our favourite ideas:
Lyon oozes creativity. From its various art museums to the fashionable designers of the Croix-Rousse, you can find something to inspire you all over the city. Don't miss Rue Auguste Comte and the surrounding streets of the Auguste Comte district, with their galleries, shops and antiques. Another must-visit is Les Subsistances if you enjoy the performing arts.
Located just 30km, Beaujolais is home of light, fruity red wines that are great for daytime drinking. Hire a car and do it yourself, or just relax on a guided tour of the region.
If you don't already love food, Lyon may just be the place to whet your appetite. Considered by many to be the gastronomic capital of France, the city is home to France's most interesting cuisine. You'll be tempted by the lively atmosphere of the city's many bouchons (traditional restaurants) but it's the meals you enjoy there that will leave lasting memories. For a more comprehensive exploration, look no further than the Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse food hall (102 cours Lafayette, hallesdelyon.free.fr).
Lyon is over 2,000 years old. Whether you enjoy a wander in a place like the Gallo-Roman museum or a less structured exploration of the Renaissance facades in Old Lyon, the terribly old and romantic side of Lyon never shies from view.
Like any French city, Lyon has several markets of interest. Shop for food alongside the top Lyonnais chefs at the Saint-Antoine market (Tues-Thurs, 6am to 12.30 pm and Fri-Sun 6am to 1.30pm along the banks of the Saône near Place Bellecour). The Croix-Rousse food market operates at the same times at Place de la Croix Rousse. If you don't mind heading just a little out of town, you have the Sunday flea markets at Villeurbanne (take the Rhone Express T3 tram to the commune of Villeurbanne) and Les Puces du Canal (1 rue du canal, end of the T1 tramline).
Incredible, life-like murals can be found all over the city and you'll likely see the locals meeting up with their friends in front of them. Whether you need a meeting place or not, these tremendous creations must be examined on a tour of Lyon.
In Lyon, beautiful buildings house the history and culture of the city. Whatever you fancy, there will be a museum for it. Constantly changing exhibits mean there will be something new to see every time you visit Lyon. And don't forget the grandest museum of all: the city itself.
If the weather is nice, don't miss the remarkable Tête d'Or park with its botanical gardens, lake, zoo, rose garden and events. This is a great place to mix with the locals. The Île Barbe is also a nice place for a walk.
This is probably the most popular square in the city, great for people-watching over a drink or getting involved in a game of boules.
Lyon has fabulous shopping, from luxury brands and franchises to cutting edge designer boutiques with items that you won't find anywhere else. The major French department stores, Printemps and Galleries Lafayette are also represented (bring your passport for 10% off). See our next post on practicalities for a guide to the shopping.
The Lyon National Opera is world-famous and the Lyon Auditorium also has its own National Orchestra. The Maison de la Danse is the place for dance buffs, while Théâtre des Célestins offers drama. You can even see puppet shows across three different theaters. You should definitely get your culture on in Lyon.
Michelin that is. Lyon boasts 14 Michelin-starred restaurants. So if you've ever had a hankering for a high-end meal, this is the place to splurge.
The most beautiful way to get from streets A to B is through a fancy historic passageway that you can only find in Lyon. Grab a map and discover the city's hidden beauty.
Lyon has two hills, which make excellent vantage points. On a clear day take the 'ficelle' to the top of Fourvière Hill, where you can gain extra height at the top of the Fourvière Basilica. The Croix-Rousse neighbourhood with its terraced slopes also allows for excellent viewing.
Lyon is simply gorgeous when night falls. Light bounces off the rivers and illuminates 325 of the city's monuments and sites. If you really want to see the city at its brightest, come for the annual Festival of Lights in December
What's your favourite thing to do in Lyon?

Leigh April 24, 2013 at 1:44 am
I haven't been to Lyon in years but I do remember bopping over from Geneva for the day on a couple of occasions – with my Eurorail pass. Beautiful shops, excellent food, a great city for walking – these are my memories. A Beaujolais tasting sounds like a great idea – and some of the named village Beaujolais is quite delicious.
Ad-lib Traveller April 24, 2013 at 3:32 pm
Great post, I'm heading to Lyon in two weeks for my first visit. Really looking forward to sampling the food but once I can pull myself away from that, I'll be sure to try a few of these ideas
Jess @UsedYorkCity April 24, 2013 at 6:48 pm
What a lovely collection! I would love to do the wine tasting here and check out the murals:-)
Steve April 24, 2013 at 9:52 pm
Great post about Lyon. As it is twinned with my home city Birmingham you have given me every reason to go and visit.
Flashpackatforty - Craig April 25, 2013 at 10:05 am
Never really had Lyon on my travel radar, but you make it sound like well worth a visit. That image of the food, made me salivate. Oh the French and their food…
Mel April 26, 2013 at 10:00 am
Thanks for all your articles on Lyon, I haven't been there but will definitely add it to my list of places to go when in Europe next.
cosmoHallitan April 28, 2013 at 5:42 am
My husband and I were just talking about how much we'd like to go to Lyon, and then I come home and read this. Lyon is definitely going on the 2014 Europe itinerary!
Mike Carlson April 28, 2013 at 12:10 pm
I haven't really heard so much about Lyon. I like the idea of wine tasting while visiting the place. I've always love to do that when I visit France.
Ayelet - All Colores May 1, 2013 at 5:28 pm
It's impressive that there's so much to do and see there, especially since you say it's a small city. I would probably want to see the murals first.
coq August 24, 2014 at 11:43 am
Personally, my friends and i like to get blackout drunk, climb fourviere, sneak into the amphitheater and just screw around before racing bikes down through vieux lyon.

Worth 65-70 in my view not one $ more...JMHO
Did you fall ack into the sewer from whence you emanated?
Ort. You have been so wrong on this stock that you should just #$%$. I hope you were "shorting massive amounts" today. And you have such perfect timing. Once again you say how bad this stock is and just a few minutes after 11 am, CELG ROCKETS UP !!! You are a #$%$. LD
Based on your repeated incorrect predictions and your polluting this board with your play by play commentary on your ridiculous short positions since $65, your opinion isn't worth much. Perhaps it's time for you to get out of the market.
$14 EPS at 19 time growth rate is over $250 - you are wrong again
AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN
I think ort's most famous words were short anything in the 70s. The only good news is that its no longer in the 70s, so perhaps ort did stop shorting. Great presentation. Love the late breaking apremilast news. glta value
That was the game changer.
try corrective lenses
The ortman has a crystal ball! Problem is, he reads it upside down. Still shorting big time?

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
NHL board ratifies agreement
NEW YORK -- The National Hockey League's board of governors has ratified a new collective bargaining agreement with its players. The process is now in the hands of the players and they are expected to conclude a league-wide vote of some 700 players by the weekend.
Should the players vote to ratify the agreement a new season will begin almost immediately. Training camps will open as soon as Sunday and the season is scheduled to kick off on Jan. 19.
Jets owner Mark Chipman cast his vote on the CBA and wanted to address the fans of Winnipeg.
"Thank you for hanging in with us and thank you for the support our organization and I have received personally over the last couple of months," said Chipman, accompanied in New York by Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff and Thomson Reuters executive Patrick Phillips. "The patience and the support is going to be rewarded now."
Chipman says the organization is pondering a way to recognize what Jets fans have endured as a result of the lockout.
"Our folks are working on something right now. It's not easily done. I think we've tried to be fair as much as we could with the way we handled people's ticket money," said Chipman, referring to the organization's policy to either return ticket money or pay interest on dollars left with the club. "But yeah, we're kicking some ideas around. We don't want it to be patronizing. I'd rather do nothing than have it come off as some hollow effort to appease people that are still angry. We have to come up with the right thing to do."
There were 30 votes cast on Wednesday with a majority of 16 needed to carry the ratification.

Federal workforce
The government should not ignore social-media tools in the quest for new hires
As the discussion about acquisition reform continues in Congress and throughout the federal government, a new emphasis is emerging on workforce development as critical to successful acquisitions. Concern about the nearing wave of large-scale retirements has grown for the past several years, yet no good solution has emerged.
Recent press coverage has highlighted the potential of Web 2.0 technologies, also referred to as Gov 2.0 initiatives, to enable the government to reach out to the largest pool of viable candidates with a messaging strategy that conveys the benefits of government service. President Barack Obama's campaign used a comprehensive social-media model to connect and deliver information, and the government should be doing similar strategies when it comes to sharing information in hopes of attracting talent. One of the central tenets is to make government service attractive, and sharing information via social media is an effective way to inform the next-generation workforce.
Several agencies, including the CIA, NASA and the Defense Department are realizing the value proposition of social media and have taken a comprehensive effort to attract and hire talent from a range of sources. The General Services Administration has also been on the forefront of thought leadership combined with an investment in technologies to execute the agency's social-media strategies. Visionary leaders at GSA, such as David Drabkin, Mary Davie and Casey Coleman, use social media to share information with staff members and customers. That engagement in social media can have a direct effect on how effectively an agency reaches a receptive audience with its targeted messages.
Leadership is vital to help craft the culture's comfort level with Web 2.0 technologies and risk-taking, in addition to creating a social-media strategy centered on the capabilities and skills of the target audience. Leaders should help convey the message, which should be specific to agency operations. This message should be crafted both internally and externally — for example, on an agency's Web site though the use of blogs and video content — in addition to allowing conversation and the ability to solicit feedback and post responses. Agencies should also showcase the organization as a great place to work by highlighting their people and what they do.
Leaders should also help craft culture by educating staff members on the benefits of Web 2.0 technologies and how social media affects their work and performance, in an effort to help retain talent and give new hires from the next-generation workforce opportunities to perform and keep them engaged so they feel that government is where they want to be.
The next generation of federal employees will be looking for a government presence in social media, and the government will suffer if it is not there.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

JUNEAU -- With 10 days to go for the regular legislative session, two major bills advanced to their final committees Thursday and appeared destined to get to the House and Senate floors next week.
Early Thursday morning, the House Resources Committee ratcheted down oil taxes a few more notches and removed some state oversight from the calculations by industry for its pre-tax expenses, then moved Senate Bill 21 to the House Finance Committee.
Later in the afternoon, the Senate Resources Committee rejected a bid to modify and slow down a bill that will enable construction of a state-backed, small-diameter, $7 billion pipeline to bring North Slope gas to Southcentral Alaska. House Bill 4 was sent on to the Senate Finance Committee.
The hearing on the oil-tax bill ran till after 2 a.m. Thursday, with the most important amendments heard at the end of the session. A recording of the session shows the representatives expressing concern about the hour. For at least some amendments they were unable to get details about the effects of their votes on the state treasury because state revenue officials were unavailable.
Nevertheless, they went ahead. The final amendment dropped the base tax rate from 35 percent to 33 percent an amount that could cost the treasury $200 million to $300 million a year.
That change was proposed by Rep. Peggy Wilson, R-Wrangell, who termed it a compromise between a failed earlier amendment to further reduce the tax to 30 percent and the 35 percent rate passed by the Senate.
Its a happy medium between 30 and 35, Wilson said.
But when the Senate passed the bill a couple weeks ago, it balked at a tax rate that started at 35 percent but dropped to 33 percent after three years. Theres no sign that the Senate would accept 33 percent now.
Wilsons amendment passed 6-3. In favor were Reps. Wilson, Mike Hawker, R-Anchorage; Craig Johnson, R-Anchorage; Dan Saddler, R-Eagle River; Eric Feige, R-Chickaloon; and Kurt Olson, R-Soldotna. Opposed were Reps. Geran Tarr, D-Anchorage; Chris Tuck, D-Anchorage; and Paul Seaton, R-Homer.
The committee rejected one amendment by Hawker to undo one change in tax policy that was made in 2007 in ACES Alaskas Clear and Equitable Share, the Gov. Palin-era tax reform. But the committee accepted another amendment by Hawker to undo another ACES provision.
The first amendment sought by Hawker, whose wife is employed as an analyst by ConocoPhillips, would have wiped out the 2007 change that barred oil companies from deducting their actual transportation expenses from their taxes when they owned the pipelines and ships that moved the oil.
Instead, when the companies were not at arms length, ACES made them prove the charges were reasonable. The main producers affected were the major owners of the trans-Alaska pipeline ConocoPhillips, BP and ExxonMobil.
That had worked just fine for all those years until ACES passed, Hawker said. ACES created a byzantine process for calculating taxes, he said.
But Seaton said the state was cheated out of billions of dollars under that practice and only got some of the money back when it sued.
If youre shipping on your own pipeline, you can jack up the rate in the pipeline, pay yourself that jacked-up rate, reduce the value of your oil and then pay lower taxes, Seaton said. You get to subtract that higher, supposed value that you took out of your right pocket and put in your left pocket from the value of the value of the oil on the North Slope, and therefore you pay less production tax.
That amendment failed, 5-4, with Republicans Seaton, Wilson and Saddler joining the two Democrats in voting it down.
But another accounting measure sought by Hawker, allowing companies to use the charge for lease expenses that they pass on their oil company partners rather than provide their actual itemized records to the state, passed 7-2, with only the Democrats opposing. Johnson said in an interview that the partners keep a fierce eye on the charges submitted by the lease operators, so the state wouldnt get cheated if they used the same documentation to determine taxes.
Over on the Senate side of the Capitol later Thursday, the Senate Resources Committee rejected a bid by its only Democrat, Hollis French of Anchorage, to slow down the pipeline measure.
This bill arrived in this committee barely 48 hours ago. In the two-minute opening statement given by the bill sponsor (Rep. Hawker), he not once, not twice, not three times, but four times warned us that it was a complex bill, French said. Yet the committee hadnt heard from top revenue or natural resource officials on the measure, he said.
This bill envisions a $7 billion project. Its a mega-project by any means and I am deeply, deeply concerned that this committee has not done its job vetting this bill, he said.
Resources chairwoman Cathy Giessel, R-Anchorage, defended her management of the committee, saying French missed a hearing when the commissioner and deputy commissioner of Natural Resources testified. But a committee aide later said that the testimony came during oversight hearings before the gas line bill reached the committee.
Sen. Lesil McGuire said one version or another of gas pipeline legislation had been heard by the Senate for the last three years.
Alaskans are ready for us to stop studying, to stop putting these binders on our shelves, said McGuire, an Anchorage Republican. This is not a state project. Its going to take the private sector and the gas that they have in their leases.
The bill doesnt mandate construction of a line, but sets up an independent state corporation to design a line and seek commercial gas shippers. The line would be paid by bonds backed by revenue from shipping gas through the line, but it would also take a $330,000 million appropriation of state funds to get to the point of construction after millions have already been spent.
Opponents say the line would be too small to allow for large volumes of gas for export that would lower prices for residential and utility consumers in Southcentral. Supporters disagree, and say the line might push TransCanada into building a large diameter line under its state license to Valdez.
The gas line and oil tax two bills unfolded a day before the Revenue Department is expected to issue its spring revenue forecast a possible bit of bad news Friday that tax receipts from North Slope oil production are not as high as expected. Some 90 percent of general fund tax revenue derives from oil through the trans-Alaska pipeline.
A fiscal summary issued Wednesday by the Legislative Finance Division, the Legislatures budget trackers, showed that under Senate Bill 21 as passed by the Senate before House Resources cut taxes even further the 2014 capital and operations budget would leave the state with about a $763 million deficit. If Senate Bill 21 didnt pass, the summary said, the state would have a surplus of between $10.4 million and $15.6 million under the budgets being considered in the House and Senate.

School of blue maomao, Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve
The Poor Knights Islands are the remains of a group of ancient volcanoes. Beneath the waves these volcanoes have been hollowed and shaped by the ocean into a web of caves, tunnels and cliffs which Jacques Cousteau rated as one of the top ten dives in the world.
Because of their incredible form and biodiversity, the sea surrounding the islands has been a marine reserve since 1981. It extends to 800 m around the islands.
Visitors are welcome in the reserve, which is 22 km off the east coast of Northland. Transport can be arranged from any of the nearby towns. Boating, snorkelling and scuba diving are all encouraged. Fishing or removal of any plants, animals, shells or rocks is not permitted within the reserve.
Visitors may only land on the islands if they have a permit from the Department of Conservation, which is usually only granted for scientific purposes.

Did you know that Facebook vp/global marketing solutions Carolyn Everson was involved in a failed attempt to persuade MTV to buy the company in 2005?
Few do. Everson is better known as the Facebook ad chief who brought business reality to the social network. After she arrived in March 2011, staff at Facebook stopped ignoring phone calls from ad agencies and began treating them with respect.
Facebook now makes $1 billion every quarter in ad revenue, and the company bends over backward to find new ways to engage with advertisers.
It's not a coincidence that CEO Mark Zuckerberg's Q3 note to investors said yesterday, "We are deeply integrating monetization into our product teams in order to build a stronger, more valuable company." That's a stark contrast to his tone before the IPO, and before Everson's arrival, when he said that making money was only a secondary goal at the company.
We recently got a copy of "Pioneers of Digital," a new book by Paul Springer and Mel Carson, which profiles the movers and shakers in the digital marketing business. It contains some fascinating nuggets, including Everson's attempt to acquire Facebook at MTV in 2005.
Here's what else we learned about Everson from the book.
Disclosure: The author owns Facebook stock.
