In Facebook’s initial public offering filing last week, it admitted it doesn’t generate any “meaningful revenue” from its mobile products, which “may negatively affect our revenue and financial results.” Next month its plan is to start showing advertisements to cellphone users in an attempt to succeed where Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) and Twitter have so far fallen flat, the FT reports.

TiVo (NASDAQ:TIVO) is up over 5% premarket on a Barron’s weekend report.

Barnes & Noble (NYSE:BKS) Books-A-Million (NASDAQ:BAMM) and Canandian bookstore chain Indigo Books join forces refusing to stock titles published by Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN). The boycotts come ahead of Amazon’s release of high-profile titles brought to market by former Time Warner CEO Larry Kirshbaum.
Sohu.com (NASDAQ:SOHU) guidance is a disappointment. Majority-owned online game developer Changyou.com (NASDAQ:CYOU) share decline also takes a toll on some recent gainers from the Chinese Internet stocks. Sina Corporation (NASDAQ:SINA), Baidu.com Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU), and Renren Inc. (NYSE:RENN) are all dwindling. However, gaming concern Perfect World (NASDAQ:PWRD) is up interestingly enough; perhaps out of a belief that Sohu/Changyou’s loss is Perfect World’s gain.
