I held off on blogging about the Facebook situation for some time as I was afraid that I would never stop blogging about it. And now I have three entries in a week on the topic (see the last one and the first one). There continues to be a number of interesting articles written about it, including:

– New York Magazine’s “Lloyd Blankfein’s Secret Facebook Feed” (this one has a fake Facebook feed that is pure genius)
– Bloomberg’s “Goldman Sachs Says It May Sell, Hedge Facebook Stake”
– DealBook’s “S.E.C. Questions Goldman Sachs on Offering”
– Reuter’s “SEC examines rules for private firms after Facebook deal-report”
– Bloomberg’s “Facebook May Face SEC Disclosure Scrutiny as Goldman Invests $450 Million”
– WSJ Opinion “How Washington Defriended Investors”
– NY Times’ DealBook’s “The Legal Issues in the Goldman-Facebook Deal”
