Welcome to the Facebook IPO edition of Yakezie Carnival. If a biggest IPO of the history is just a few days away how does the financial blogging community sit silent? Let’s discuss the IPO briefly.

While trying to name this carnival, I searched on Wikipedia with 6th November but, couldn’t find any worth mentioning incident. Finally I have decided to name it ‘just another day’ and talk about Yakezie group. About pictures, I searched through my personal album and picked three pics from our Cruise trip to Bahamas on Carnival Cruise lines.

I have hosted Yakezie carnivals twice previously and noticed that they get visits from Yakezies and non-Yakezies alike. This is the best stage to talk about some of the benefits of Yakezie group.

If you are a blogger and write about personal finance or lifestyle, Yakezie is the place you want to be. The biggest benefit I have so far, is the zeal and interest to continue blogging.
