With USD 500 million coming from Goldman Sachs, and in becoming the first website to go ahead of google on US charts , facebook is rocking these days.
Zuckerberg's master piece has converted the IAD into FAD, the facebook addict disorder, people getting crazy about it, with all brackets falling into the category, on one side where we have kids, students into it, the other side includes corporates and biggies using facebook as a daily food.
Facebook in 2010 surpassed the gigantic Google as the most visited website in the US, registering 8.9% of all US web visits between January and November 2010, according to New York-based Internet tracker Experian Hitwise.
However personally I feel that the craze for facebook is mainly due to the platform it has created for the people, specially the way it became a daily stuff due to regular innovations and needs.
Even in terms of finance, the Facebook has raised $500 million from Goldman Sachs and a Russian investor in a deal that values the company at $50 billion, with this deal in kitty , our very own Facebook now worth more than companies like eBay, Yahoo and Time Warner. The stake by Goldman Sachs signals the increasing might of Facebook, specially on the bourses.
So is it a goldbook in making?
Well, from myside, the only question is, what else will facebook require to continue the momentum, cause it happened with apple, microsoft and google, a decline can come in facebook as well, the more IAD or Internet Addiction disorder spreads, the more we seek for newness in the internet, it becomes an innovation seeking disorder.
