There
was a time in the history of mankind when people hadn’t had any means of
communication like the telephones, internet or tv. They used to visit their
relatives for knowing their well-being on foot. They hadn’t had the means
of transportation too which have become a necessity today. So, they used to
walk long distances, used the animals as the means of transport or, in extreme
instances, used bicycles.
But
today, the trend is changed. Now, we don’t talk about means of transport, but,
the ‘cc‘ of the engines used, we don’t talk about the
means of communication, but, the device you use: an iPhone, a nexus or a Blackberry! Time has
changed drastically, indeed. Over the years, introduction of Internet and its
growth has changed the definition of communication completely. Now, we have
Google’s Street View which provide lets you wander in the city in which you are
not present physically. We have Google Hangouts which lets many people talk
face to face when all of them are at different places. We have Skype which is
making both: Audio & Video calling easy as we are ‘Making Education Easy’ (EasyEdu).
We have omegle
which lets us talk to strangers.
Isn’t
there one name missing? Yes, it certainly is! It is the Social Networking
website: facebook. Every 7th human is on facebook. On an average if one
spends 7 minutes on facebook, then, out of those 7 minutes, in general,
facebook will be used for 3 minutes. Such is the popularity of this Social
networking site that after it’s launch on February 4, 2004, it hasn’t looked
back since. Talking about the means of communication, it provides: chat
facility, audio & video call facility, keep all your friends in your touch,
keeps you updated on what your friends are doing. It is an excellent platform
for advertisers too, which is seen as an opportunity by facebook to mint some
revenues. Facebook’s success story is amazing to read and astonishing to
believe.
Keeping
itself in motion and changing with and in accordance with the changing time is
the key behind the success of facebook.
The
success of facebook is because of the fact that it is improving day by day. From what it was at the time of its launch: ‘TheFacebook’
and what it is today, there is a huge difference in both. Everytime you log in
to your profile on facebook you will see something new on the website, for
instance, the new timeline, on which facebook is working these days.
So,
keeping itself in motion and changing with time and in accordance with the
changing time is the key behind the success of facebook. Please share your
