The Facebook Phenomenon
(Page 1 of 5 )
It all started when Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook on February 4, 2004 with two of his roommates and another computer science comrade from Harvard College. Their vision was to create a networking site where they could remain in touch with friends. For this reason, at first this socialization network was restricted to Harvard College students but since September 2006 the network is open to users worldwide. This article takes a look at where Facebook has been, and where it is going.
As of 2007, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has become an instant billionaire; according to some sources he owns approximately 30% of the company and this equals more than $4 billion of total net worth. Forbes ranked him the youngest billionaire at 23 years old, and he is certainly one of the wealthiest 20-something of the world.
Moving the company headquarters to Silicon Valley and becoming a billionaire on paper, Mark is often compared with other Harvard college dropout entrepreneurs and innovators such as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. The spirits of Silicon Valley have taken notice, and lately Mr. Zuckerberg has been offered a variety of deals.
In this article we'll do our best to demystify the Facebook phenomenon. You can expect to read a detailed analysis on its growth which will be backed up with numbers and statistics. Ultimately we're going to predict the future of Facebook based on the CEO's latest actions and discuss offers, rejected deals, and ad campaigns. Moreover, I've devoted an entire section specifically to website promotion via Facebook.
