Come on, almost everyone of us internet guys have an FB account and use it daily not just for personal but as well as business ways. Ever wondered why its so popular an idea for a website yet so common and basic, anyone of us should have thought of coming up with the same service probably years ago? Simon - 3QPM
I think its because facebook offers so many options - you can link your facebook account with your youtube account, and that is a big plus to me. You can have a picture gallery. You can import the RSS feed from your blog You can show how your related to your friends - such as showing that your married to someone You can upload your own videos to facebook
Because they didn't stop after millions of people kept saying they would fail. They just did what they wanted and this is the result. Good job facebook, although I'm not a big fan. My apologies
I recently came accross an article where few things werewritten about Facebook. Like you can share things on facebook, but when you try to delet them, you will have to delete the mone by one and search then by going back page by page. But still the popularity lies in it's simplicity. MySpace messed it up with the greed of making money with adversiting and not doing the quality control. Facebook like a Trendsetter of doing all the things so simply. just put a link on the wall of your friend and its done.
Myspace didn't drop the hammer on people when it became a spam machine. Along with the spam and ads all over the site it made it more difficult to use. Who wants to enter a code everytime they add a friend, send a message, or post a comment. During the height of that people started to use Facebook more. Then the mobile apps come around. Even easier to use. I don't know.... I am sure there is a lot more to it.
Yeah, I agree that FB's simple yet effective menus and function may have spelled the big difference and made it such a huge success. Even their homepage (log in platform) looks so plain.
Facebook is popular because of privacy and many things like fan pages and strategic gaming applications etc.
Facebook is popular also because the application of facebook is very awesome, People enjoying!!!!!!! what they actually want from any Social Networking Sites.
Facebook is the most powerful communication tool these days. its support internet marketing in a smart way!!
Good question.. I believe it is so popular because it's a personal way to connect with so many people. also, a lot of people post pictures of themselves,family members and etc.. So it gives you the chance to get reconnected and be nosy all at the same time.
I think Facebook is popular and successful because in real THEY ARE already. So, there is nothing to think about anymore for me . I like facebook and stay connected with my friends n family.
Its popular because its both cleaner than myspace from ads and spam, AND it encourages connectivity and openess more. You can use Facebook Connect, etc.
FaceBook became popular because they mixed several things that the masses love to do such as sharing photos, videos, opinions, play games, meet other people, etc... I think it clearly revolutionized the world of communication during this first decade. Let's see if Google Wave can stop this
MySpace was dying down and almost everybody just moved over to Facebook. We're talking about mostly teenagers because they make up almost all of the social networks. In a few years, Facebook will die down as well.
I believe Facebook became popular because of a massive PR campaign. That, and timing. MySpace as a social networking tool was first, Facebook 2nd. I didn't pay any attention to it until I kept hearing about it in mainstream news.
I dont think face book will die down any time, My aunts and uncles on facebook, they love it. Is simple and to the point. They finding there old friends 60 plus people loving it
