About "Why People Love Facebook" topic:
Facebook appeals to social animals and can be very addicting to
people who have an insatiable appetite to stay connected with friends
and make new acquaintances. In fact, some people report they rarely use
email or IM tools anymore in their online social communications anymore,
relying almost entirely on Facebook for email, chat, image and video
sharing.
Facebook addicts prefer the social portal model versus having to log
into AIM, Yahoo Messenger, Gmail, Hotmail, Flickr, YouTube, MySpace,
etc. Instead, Facebook gives them a single alternative to all these
applications, with one login and interface to manage their online social
interaction needs. This largely explains the explosive growth Facebook
continues to experience and why the company reportedly invested $200
million in data center upgrades last year to keep up with demand!

Postings can be used against the professional by the authority if desired. This can cause devastation in ones career. Remember the NJ schoolteacher who lost her job because of facebook comments for her students?

A person wishing to fail can always find new avenues to the path of failure. Facebook cannot really be the source of it. It is a source to build healthy communications and also as an unique tool of sourcing new practical ideas.

It "All in the Name". The word "Orkut" is unknown and doesn't relate well with people while "facebook" does. It is a combination of two commonly used words "face" "book". The combination clearly works here simply gives the right intent of this...

1st thing is that facebook explores friends of friends i.e. people you may know and orkut has same but orkut show only 4-5, where facebook shows more so we can connect with them. 2nd Facebook has "status" like twitter, where friend can directly...

It must have been a tough decision for the young girl to have taken. But it was absolutely necessary for the girl to have taken it for te sheer symbolism it generates. Even if she is not active, no issue but a point has been made. Salute you Ms....

Facebook will have market value of $234 billion by 2015, up from its current valuation of $85 billion, according to an analysis by brokerage firm Wedbush Securities that analyzes the valuations of private companies. Wedbush Securities analyst Lou Kerner, who made this guess in a report last week on the what he called the 'Second Internet', says by 2015 Facebook will earn $11 billion on $22 billion and have a market value of $234 billion, Business Insider said Thursday. "That makes the company's recent second market valuation of $85 billion look like a fine deal indeed,'' the business web site said. In his earlier predictions in February 2010, Kerner had said that Facebook might be worth $100 billion by 2015. But he now thinks Facebook's margins are better - around 50 percent - and that it will get a bigger share of the global ad market, according to the portal. The analyst also believes "that other revenue sources - like Credits - will scale faster than he originally anticipated.''...

Why the pen is mightier than the keyboard: Children who write by hand 'learn better than those who type' Children and students who write by hand learn better than those who type, a study has revealed. Something is apparently lost in the brain process when switching from pen and book to computer screen and keyboard. This is because reading and writing involves a number of our senses, according to the scientists who conducted the study. When writing by hand, the movements involved leave an imprint in the part of the brain called the sensorimotor. This process helps to help us recognise letters. Simply touching and typing on a keyboard produces a different response in the brain, which means it does not strengthen the learning mechanism in the same way. In tests, two groups of volunteers were asked to learn an unknown alphabet. The first was taught to write the letters by hand, while the other used keyboards. At weekly intervals their recollections of the alphabet were recorded. And...

A 28 year old, Divya Narendra, son of an Indian immigrant doctor couple in the U.S., has moved to courtroom in battle with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. He believes that he, and not Mark Zuckerberg, came up with the idea of social networking website Facebook. Narendra, along with his former Harvard University classmates Tyler Winklevoss and Cameron Winklevoss, has charged Zuckerberg with stealing the idea they conceived over a year, when they were students at Harvard University, reports Ishani Duttagupta from The Economic Times. Inset: Divya narendra with winkelwosses Narendra said, "I spent almost one year developing the concept and searching for programmers along with two of my classmates to build what was then called Harvard-Connection.com, which was a social network for Harvard students which was to expand to other schools. When I heard about Mark Zuckerberg for the first time in the fall of 2003, he seemed like a natural fit to join our team. Three months later, Facebook...

Zuckerberg Named One of 10 Worst-Dressed Men Hi Friends.... Time magazine coverboy and billionaire Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been named one of the 10 worst-dressed guys of 2010 by Esquire magazine. When Esquire was putting together its “2010 Celebrity Style Hall of Shame” list, it didn’t have to look far in the tech world to find plenty of candidates. Mark was easy prey to Esquire‘s critical eye, given his high profile and simple wardrobe. What’s the matter with the way he dresses, anyway? We don’t mind that casual look, and if a billionaire CEO has a closet full of exactly the same shirt and pants (we’re looking at you, Steve Jobs), who are we to say he can’t wear them? It makes him comfortable, and after all, getting away with wearing a T-shirt to a black-tie event means you’re one powerful dude. All this attention to Mark’s wardrobe made us want to look for visual evidence. So here’s a gallery of the various outfits he’s been spotted wearing. You might be surprised...

Written by Nisan Gabbay Facebook was launched in February 2004 by Harvard undergrad students as an alternative to the traditional student directory. Its popularity quickly spread to other colleges in the US by word of mouth, and the site now registers close to 15M monthly UVs and over 6B page views per month. Facebook has completed two rounds of venture financing at very high valuations, the first at a valuation of ~$100M and the second at ~$550M (valuations are unconfirmed). These valuations were driven by the multiple acquisition offers that Facebook has reportedly turned down (the latest was a rumored $750M offer). Facebook is already generating significant revenue, so despite all the valuation and web traffic metric hype, it has also established a very real business. Interviews conducted: Noah Kagan, early product manager for Facebook. Noah will soon release an e-book on Facebook, with good insight on the social networking space. You will be able to download the book at Noah s...
