Zuckerberg’s Vision To make the world more open and connected

Modus operandi of Facebook Facebook moves into a market (eg: photosharing, games) and takes it over by making it social. The only major source of revenue is advertising. Facebook is used by organizations for targeted marketing.

Advantages Allows users to track down long lost friends, acquaintances and relatives that they haven't seen for years. “Stretches people and gets them to be comfortable with things they aren't yet comfortable with”. A lot of this is just social norms catching up with what technology is capable of. Even if Facebook seems so informal in the eyes of non-professionals, it has proven to be very advantageous in tracking down legal disputes.

Advantages Provides the chance to choose what you desire to share, and what you don’t need to  impart, and what you desire to impart with chosen associates. A one-stop shop or supermarket for imparting blogging, media, calendaring, communicating, sharing ideas or information and others.

Disadvantages Banned in certain countries by governments who fear misuse of Facebook’s vast database. Privacy issues. Facebook addiction could become an actual diagnosable ailment. Facebook is a blunt instrument for doing the delicate work of transmitting human relationships. Facebook has been cited as the primary source for online divorce evidence. Rampant addiction Possible stalking

An entrepreneur does not see different things, but sees things differently. Many people looked at the internet and saw it as a network of computers. Zuckerberg, however, saw the internet as a network of people.
