Facebook Coming to Nasdaq With the Ticker ‘FB’ [REPORT]

Facebook will be traded on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “FB,” according to a report.

Citing “a person familiar with the matter,” The New York Times reports that Nasdaq won a battle with the New York Stock Exchange for Facebook. Nasdaq is home to Apple, Google and others, but NYSE scored wins last year when LinkedIn and Pandora Media allowed their stocks to be traded there.

Facebook could not be reached for comment on the report. The social networking giant is reported to be preparing its $5 billion IPO for May. If Facebook manages to raise this capital, it will be on a shortlist of the biggest tech IPOs of all time.

The company was also said to halt the trading of its shares in secondary markets SharesPost and SecondMarket last week. Facebook filed its initial prospectus with the SEC for the IPO in February.

‘Angry Birds Space’ Downloaded 10M Times in 3 Days

Rovio’s Angry Birds Space has had a solid takeoff with 10 million downloads since its release on Thursday, according to the company.

The company, which disclosed the figure in its Twitter feed Monday morning, didn’t say how the release compares with previous title launches. However, according to reports, Rovio’s last major Angry Birds release, Angry Birds Rio, hit 10 million downloads in 10 days, more than three times as long.

The latest game was released for various formats, including for the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android devices, as well as the Mac and PC. The company didn’t release a Windows Phone version, though it plans to, according to Rovio CEO Mikael Hed.

The new version brings several important changes, most importantly gravity, which will allow players to use nearby planets to perform trick shots on unsuspecting pigs.

The game has 60 levels, with more content available through in-app purchases (only in the iOS version for now). The game includes hidden goodies and secret levels, and Rovio promises regular free updates for the future.

You can get the iPhone version here. The iPad version is available here, and the Android version is available over at Google Play.

Finally, the Mac version is available in the Mac App Store, while the PC version is available directly from Rovio.

Facebook Relationship Status Update Sparks Gun Fight

Gunshots were fired at a Georgia Waffle House Friday morning over a Facebook post. The fight broke out at the late-night eatery around 5 a.m. local time. The source of the dispute: someone’s relationship status on Facebook.

According to authorities, one group of women was inside the Augusta restaurant when another group of ladies approached. An argument ensued regarding someone’s relationship status on Facebook, and the fight was eventually taken outside where one of the women fired four shots in the air. That woman is now in police custody.

The other women involved fled the scene in three vehicles, all of which are thought to have contained firearms. No additional details about the incident have been released.

This is undoubtedly not the first debate that has ensued from someone changing their Facebook relationship status. Going from “Single” to “In a Relationship” on the site has become a common way to announce a new relationship. If things get complicated there’s a status for that, and breaking up can make just as big a splash on the social network as announcing a new love.

If you think changing your relationship might incite a parking lot brawl, check out our guide to changing your Facebook relationship status without alerting your friends.
