Facebook, the largest social media website, was founded back in the 2004 by a group of Harvard University dropouts as not any worldwide social network but only as a service of internal communication for only students of the Harvard University.
From then, this social media giant has expanded its services into a great number of Ivy League Universities of the United States, and from there it began its unstoppable journey of growing expansively in the USA on very large scale – like it went across more and more local universities and continued to earn fame in local high schools as well. Facebook was rapidly at the peak of popularity just a little time after its owners decided to open it to the worldwide high school and university students to communicate on a single platform with other international scholars.
After that, this social media site tasted some internationally potential growth as it moved into Canada, United Kingdom and Australia and it was in just the final guise of an international educational service which was opened to everyone having a college or university e-mail address for example, .edu, .ac.uk etc).
In 2006, Facebook owner were flashed with an idea of making the site an open platform to the world for socializing. This was the time, Facebook finally moved away from educational grassroots (that have halted its growth at a certain level) and registered itself as a truly open service that was free for anyone based in any country of the world to join. At this stage, Facebook had made itself similar to the other social networking site where people can register in and link up with rest of the world.
Despite Facebook planned the forever move away from its traditional roots, it still owns an effective stranglehold today on social networking associated to educational communications particularly in United States, and even they claim that all college and university students in of United States have Facebook accounts.
Of course, to a great extent, such a situation is also noted in different countries of the world. As a proof on this, Wikipedia stated that in late November 2007 this largest social media website own the largest number of college student registered as their users, from the 55 million users across the planet Earth.
Nearly in the end of year 2007, the figure was potentially anticipated to reach 60 million users, of which 50 percent of them were the active participates of the global Facebook community at least once a month.
To imagine the current rate of expansion of this giant social media website, you may note that some time ago Facebook was enjoying about 15,000 new user signups each day. To your astonishment, today this figure has mounted to 100,000 new user signups per day, and the website is on a continuous track of expansion at a rate of 3% (every week). These are the latest statistics presented by none other than Facebook’s Founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg.
Perhaps more interestingly, the company’s Founder and CEO claims that the fastest growing demographic group of new users on Facebook belong to the “25 and above” age group. This marks a point of Facebook community turning more and more matured every day.
Every month Facebook enjoys over 70 billion page views. It has even registered itself as the sixth-most trafficked website in the United States of America, after beating up the ebay visit results. Would you ever believe! Facebook now is closing in on the traffic figures of the world’s search engine GIANT – Google.
Whether anybody has strived so hard and far to achieve this or, indeed, is it really possible for a normal man to achieve this unsurpassed level of popularity and growth is one of the critical questions this ebook will considerably discuss in more detail.
