Mark Zuckerberg - Facebook
I guess everyone know about the website that this guy called Mark Zuckerberg developed. Yes! It’s Facebook! Recently, i am experimenting with the facebook features such as friend adder, friend searching, applications and it’s a really powerful platform. I registered my account couple of months ago ( i am not one of those early birds, i can be consider those late adapters) for the purpose of advertising and marketing, but never really sign in and explore it till recently.
Mark Zuckerberg created this facebook when he was still studying in harvard university in his dorm room in summer 2006. And never did he expected that facebook is the next big thing in the web, with around 75 millions (increasing alot everyday) of members worldwide, averaging $150 Million in revenue (not sure whether its anually or monthly). Make a guess how old Mark Zuckerberg is? This guy is only 23 years old this year and already have a net worth of 1.5 billion dollars. He is the youngest self made billionaire in the world!
Facebook is the most “happening” start up in silicon valley and many analyst are consistantly comparing Mark Zuckerberg with great people like steve job (apple) and bill gates (microsoft). As facebook’s popularity increases tremendously day by day, big titans like microsoft, yahoo, viacom begin to analyse and take a serious appraisal at facebook. They are pumping money with a lot of zeros to buy facebook. But, mark disagreed as facebook is just off the peak.
Yahoo offer 1 billion dollars for facebook which inturn tempted Mark to sell off his baby, but however due to some reasons, yahoo reduced their bid of 1 billion to 800 million, and back to 1 billion 2 months later. However, Mark rejected the bid as he knew facebook will be worth far more alot on its own. Due to this incident, Mark rose to fame in silicon valley, as the “cocky” young guy that rejected 1 billion dollars.
Today, facebook is worth far more than 1 billion dollars and Mark definitely make the correct decision for not accept yahoo’s bid.
Here’s a video on facebook, called The facebook gangsta. It’s quite a comedy. watch it.
