Access to some of the world's most famous celebrities is now at the tip of your fingers thanks to the motherboard of social media, Facebook.
As investors welcome the social networking site to Wall Street, a few celebrities cash in their thoughts on the company that revolutionized the way they communicate with friends, family and their fans.
Actress Jenna Fischer.
SOUNDBITE: Jenna Fischer, actress, saying (English):
"I remember what it was like when you would wait for a letter in the mail for a week and now you can exchange e-mails or updates or you know, alert people on mass about what you're doing. But, you know, it also makes me sad when I go hiking and there's this beautiful scenery around me and I walk by teenagers who are like on their phone. And it's like the world is out there, it's not just in your phone."
Facebook is valued at $104 billion U.S. dollars, making the Silicon Valley-based company larger than Starbucks and Hewlett-Packard combined.
With these numbers, it's no surprise that actor Will Arnett wishes he was a part of the birth of the company.

"I wish I had engaged in the Facebook, in the founding of it. Just being a user, there's no benefit."
Busy actor Chace Crawford was shocked to learn the company was going public.

"I didn't even know that. They're selling out. I guess if Facebook is going public then I am probably a little bit late into the game then, to really capitalize on the stock. I should have been there to steal the idea at Harvard, right. But no, I didn't know that, that's wonderful."
Despite concerns about Facebook's challenges in long-term money making potential, there is no stopping celebrities from freely using the site to connect with fans like never before.
Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and David Beckham regularly update their pages with photos and personal messages to fans.
In addition, stars like Rihanna and Will Smith also use it as a way to promote their latest projects.
TV personality Larry King has joined the craze and said social media is hard to miss.

"I have a Facebook, I have Twitter, I have all of them, but I dictate them, you know what I mean, I don't type. But, hey, social network is today, you can't avoid it."
But not everyone feels the same way about the company's mission of "creating a more open and connected community".
Actor Victor Garber expressed his strong dislike for the tool.

"I am not interested in Facebook, I am not on Facebook, someone is impersonating me on Facebook, I hate it. That's my feeling about Facebook."
