My MashUp of the news articles is a semi-abstract amalgamation in which I intend to give some idea of the history and current standing both financially and socially of each of the three companies.
Doctor John Permberton. Developer Ryan Brant. Sophomore Mark Zucherberg. Beginnings! Coca Cola concocted 1886. Take-Two Interactive Software founded 1993. Facebook is started Feburary 2004. Pemberton's bookkeeper Frank Robinson gives names and logo, sales began May 8th. Asa Candler buys Coca Cola formula. Take-Two expands. Take-Two acquires Global Star Software, TalonSoft, control of Telstar. Facebook originally within Harvard, spreads to other universities then high schools. Growth. Coke syrup sold to licensed independent companies, Facebook moves headquarters to California, Take-Two acquires developers and studio PopTop Software. Struggles. "I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke" radio add flops. Brant resigns from chairman as company is investigated. Winklevoss twins and co claim Facebook stolen. Overcome? KO Stocks 75.23. TTWO Stocks 11.56. FB Stocks 31.91.
"Let's grab a coke." "Take-Two?" "Add me on facebook!"
