$GRPN: Groupon GRPN �continues to suffer ridicule on Twitter after the board allowed Chief Executive Andrew Mason to keep his job. Shares of Group lost nearly 9% on Friday but rose 5% for the week. WSJ: Groupon CEO isn�t going anywhere

@InvestorsLive: Can you buy shares of $GRPN on Groupon yet? Maybe they should try that ... no one wants �em today?

$ZNGA: Zynga ZNGA �is attracting a lot of Tweets about splitsville and divorce following its breakup with Facebook Inc. FB .

@dufmoney: $ZNGA such an emotional stock...

@ArdavanH: No $FB will not make games as they don�t have the core competency. $ZNGA will be better off as a result of their new arms-length agreement.

@hscrocker: $FB & $ZNGA was a match made in a cloud.

$MSFT: Microsoft MSFT �was trending as investors discussed the Surface Pro tablet. Microsoft said in a blog post Thursday that the two upcoming versions of its Surface tablet with Windows 8 Pro would be priced at $899 and $999, respectively. Read: Microsoft's next tablet priced to gather dust

@RStefanDeeran: i cant take this $msft stock slide anymore. bring back @BillGates !

@Ritholtz: The Surface: I Came, I Saw, I Left http://t.co/ALGPYupk $MSFT $$

@Vconomics: $MSFT is pricing its Windows 8 Pro Surface at $899 and $999 - what a joke. Do they expect consumers to pay a premium for their products?

$TIF: Tiffany & Co. TIF �remains on Twitter radar after it announced on Thursday that quarterly profit fell 30%.

@TraceyRyniec: $TIF and $YUM saying same thing. China in trouble right now. We�re getting smoke and mirrors about how slow it really is there.

@ebrus_tyle: The reason $TIF earnings were poor is because they have made their products accessible to everyone. Reducing standards = fall in prestige! +
