MArch+Video+Report

In the F8 video they were explaining some of the things they were introducing to Facebook to improve the site, as well as some of the reasons for starting up Facebook. After being on Facebook now since the end of February, it does make sense how it does use real connections to share information more effectively and how easy of a tool it is for everyone to use. It was just nuts though that at the time of this video they shot, there were 100,000 people joining Facebook daily, and 24 million active users (people who have been on in last 30 days). Also, 50 percent of the users come back each day, which would now include me.

I found the 60 minutes videos more interesting. Harvard drop out....very interesting to me how he dropped out of school and is now worth an estimated $3 billion. They also said that they aren't making a ton of money especially for having to employ 400 people, but then again this was back in 2008. I just don't know that they will surpass google to find out information on things, like they talked about people going on vacations. Yeah you can find out some information, but how many people have really been where you want to go? Lastly, they talked about possibly going public? What does that exactly mean? I wasn' t quite sure about that. Neat information though! I would like to see 60 minutes do a 2010 version to be able to see where it gone in just two years.
