                <media:description>A picture taken on May 14, 2012 in Paris, shows an illustration made with a figurine set up in front of Facebook&apos;s homepage.

Top executives at the world&apos;s leading social network have kicked off their all-important road show on Wall Street -- an intense marketing drive ahead of the company&apos;s expected trading launch on the tech-heavy Nasdaq on May 18.
