Borrowing shares to short will be tough. Another idea is to short a proxy stock...like linkedIn or Zynga or Groupon.

if you have a shoddy broker it will be tough to borrow. then some people will grumble about the interest rate they are paying on the borrow.

as to shorting linkedIn or Zynga or Groupon you may be late.
look at their charts.

Only $3 per share for a 1 year borrow ? That's nothing on a daily or weekly basis.

FB has to make a huge downside move at those prices. $3/sh is a lot.
