11. 3. Why Facebook?
Now over half a billion users
(it took less than 6 months to add the last
100 million users!)
Not a passing fad, it has taken root in
all age demographic categories!
Facebook is no longer simply a social networking website – it has
become a broad online ecosystem, supporting thousands of related
businesses and on track to doing over $1 billion in revenues this year.
