Facebook, being the most popular, has over 24 million active users per day, which is 37.5% of the population. The beauty of social media is that users have an environment where they can share posts, photos, videos, and even music to people around the world instantly. Social media is evolving

Facebook was celebrated its 10th birthday last year, in 2014, marked a miracle milestone for the biggest social network site in the world. Since the very first day, Facebook was faced so many obstacle to grow up from a college social network site to the home for everyone on earth can seek out and keep in touch with each other. Along with the develop of the company, they have blamed for everything, from making people lazy and addicted to increase cyber bully, privacy invasion, and loneliness. But in the other side, if a service is not good, why more and more people start to use Facebook and it is still growing strong? Like what Josh Rose stated in his article the pathos that: “The internet doesn’t steal our humanity, it reflects it,” (Josh Rose 619) beside the negative effect, the logos: Facebook still have much more positive effect and impact on human being in a way we never know before.

Facebook is one of the top social media platforms with more than 1.23 billion active users worldwide. 62% of the 1.23 billion users log in on a daily basis making it the best medium to reach for new customers. Today, businesses both big and small use Facebook as an advertising source to help their brand expand.

It is no surprise that Facebook is the most popular social network. Baby Boomers and seniors use social networks to follow groups and organizations, watch and post videos, and to support causes and join groups they like.

There was a lot of talk on how Social Networking as a model is doomed to fail but just looking at the way they are doing is enough to know that although it may not be paying off right now, it soon will. Sites like LinkedIn, Ryze, Yahoo 360, MySpace, etc seem to be attracting customers silently. Soon, they have multiple options on what to do with the huge customer

When Facebook was popular almost everybody in my high school had a page. For people using Facebook it was a online place where people could share their feelings. People would post pictures of them self’s and update their status to their current feeling. They would choose what background they wanted what music they listen to and to see what others were doing around them. Since then some people have stop using Facebook now everybody is on Instagram and snapchat and twitter. This is even worse than Facebook because

Facebook remains to be one of the most innovative social media network available. It first solely functioned as a messaging network for people around the globe, but now it has penetrated the digital marketing field and even solved various crime cases. It

Facebook is estimated to have over 845 million users, mostly college-aged young adults. Its explosive growth and reputation in social networking have made it not only a market leader, but also a household brand name. The audience is global (excluding China) and the site has now been translated into 70 different languages.

To figure out the future of Facebook we need to dive into the past Internet, the fast growth and even faster decline of earlier social networks like Myspace can show us what we should be looking for. It was only May of 2009 when Facebook surpassed Myspace with nearly 70 million users, a number dwarfed by current “populations”, but was newsworthy at the time. Every social network needs one thing, to be cool. The glitches or unused features can be overlooked, but if something’s cool it will gain a huge following. This reason was responsible for Myspace’s success and directly related to its demise.

Facebook has come a long way since its birth in 2004. As of today, Facebook has accumulated over five hundred million Facebook users, predicting that a typical user spends around or more than 20 minuets out of the day scrolling through the social media site. Out of those million

Social media has come a long way from connecting real world friends. Everyday day social media continues to add more users. Social media didn’t get started until the early 2000’s. Some call it the go,fern era of social media. At that time over 100 million people had access to the Internet. The first social media site was Friendster, a social gaming site released in 2002. After that, many other sites were created such as LinkdIn, MySpace, and still popular today, Facebook. It wasn’t until 2006 when social media took off. Facebook had gained 12 million active users. Facebook is a social networking website that allows people to create profiles, upload photos and video, send messages and keep in touch with family and friends. As of early 2015, Facebook had accumulated 1.44 billion users. More recent social media sites include, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, Instagram, Snapchat, and Vine. Twitter, the second most used social media site, allows users to post short 140-character

Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Pinterest and LinkedIn all have different meanings and importance in millennials’ lives. Facebook seems to get bad wrap unnecessarily. People may ask, “Why no love for Facebook?” These college students first got Facebook in middle school as it was considered cool then, but not anymore. However, most college students still have profiles on

Facebook, a social networking website, has changed the way people communicate with each other. A social networking website is an online platform that allows users to create a public profile and interact with other users on the website. Facebook has even changed our most personal and private conversations and how they are conducted around the world. Since the internet’s birth in 1983, this trend of online communication has been growing. Created in 2004, now registered with more than one billion participants, Facebook’s user numbers surpass even the top four social networking websites combined. According to Wikipedia statistics, Instagram has 300 million registered users, LinkedIn has 200 million users, Classmates.com has 50 million users, and Flickr has 32 million registered users. To be further convinced of the claim that Facebook indeed changes the way we communicate, you would only need to create your own Facebook account and start participating in their social networking experience. Technology and internet usage is fused into every aspect of our society including the style of communication. The launch of Facebook in 2006 also enabled other devices such as touch phones, interactive tablets, and even advanced cars with their own networking capabilities starting in 2007. Facebook is a multibillion-dollar company and is highly recognized for connecting more people than other networks. Facebook’s long-term success can be attributed to providing entertainment, world news, and

Perhaps one of the most telltale indicators of the power and influence Facebook would eventually have over the world was in 2006, when a company, Student Monitor, conducted a survey on college students. According to the survey, Facebook was tied with beer as the second most popular thing among undergraduates, only behind the iPod. Since 2008 when they dethroned Myspace, Facebook has been the leading social networking site based on monthly unique visitors. However, the social network had been getting recognition even before such an exciting feat. PC Magazine put Facebook in their 2007 “Top 100 Classic Websites”. They also won the Weebly’s “People’s Voice Award” in 2008. Each year from 2008-2010, the company won Crunchie’s “Best Overall Startup or Product”.
