Facebook Just Getting Started
It’s March 2nd, 13 more days to the 15th and Facebook is still here, hopefully it’ll stay that way.
Earlier this year a news or rather rumors from an unverified website or source almost shook the world of social media. An unconfirmed press release was sent out in the name of “Facebook” with a statement from Mark himself that he will shut Facebook down in March. Turns out its a hoax to boost the website credentials and traffic.
It did unravel some people to a degree, over 60,000 post in regards to the news was posted on Facebook fan page.
Later on a poll was sent out to everyone checking what is the level of people using Facebook, it goes pretty huge the very least. It got me thinking…
- Facebook has become not just a website, a business tool or source, but I guess part of our culture it inter-connects us freely.
- I mean there will be a lot of people loosing their jobs or even for some small businesses, large corporations has thrown in large stack amount of marketing budget on Facebook.
- Several business have setup their “website” on Facebook, instead of just having a website.
- Facebook commerce and buying is also on the rise.
- It sparked a debate on how people’s life will be without their Facebook friends.
- Several blogger started to talk about how to back up your Facebook data, just to be on the safe site, go here if you are interested in backing up (better safe than sorry).
- Last note, Facebook employs over 2,000 people and just recently opened 2 offices in Asia, just doesn’t make sense at all if Mark wanted to shutdown and do that.
- The result will be catastrophic to say the least.
