It?s entirely possible to create a list of reasons why you and I should be trying to buy stock in the Facebook IPO. There might well be a price pop given the interest in the issue. The company looks as if it might well become part of the basic infrastructure of the modern world.

Facebook Inc CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Friday laid out his 2012 goals to investors on the Silicon Valley leg of his IPO roadshow, saying his first priority was improving the social network's mobile application.
