Offbeat: Facebook

As promised a follow up article about facebook.
If you want to read the first article about the income of facebook the link is right here.

Well there are many things that people don't know about facebook, some are really clear, facebook is making this generation worse by the moment, some things are not meant to be shared, especially when nobody cares, there are many habits that should not be taken on by anyone that facebook encourages; it makes people addicted to it very fast and not for the best reasons. Also you get a lot more people approaching a dangerous leaves of stupidity, not everyone, but a larger percentage than you expect, but let's get to the point.
Facebook does not delete any of your data, shares, likes or whatever, it's privacy policy is a joke and in practice nonexistent, for many people it's not a problem but for some it's a huge problem, you might think that this does not affect you but just from the top of my head; imagine that you downloaded a movie and share it on facebook, you are exposing yourself to a law suit.

Facebook has been said to sell those personal information, it's not easy to prove but there must be a degree of truth given the number of complaints, it is crucial that everyone realize that for an average user facebook knows more about you than your family and that information is not deletable, personal or shared with boundaries, it's public and will always be.

Of course it has positive effects, it has never been so easy to share ideas as it is today and that is in great part due to facebook, that's positive, it makes ideas spread faster, especially good for good ideas, the problems is that facebook doesn't run on good ideas.

So overall is it good?

Web income: Facebook

I'm sure that many people have wondered how much does Facebook make, I'm also sure that some have thought of reasonable values but still we should get a pretty close estimate to see how many of you have got close to the number. I'm fairly certain that most people have no idea of the values involved on this.

Facebook gets about 500,000,000 pageviews per day, it's number 2 in the most visited websites, right after google, what most people have to understand is that facebook and google have very different founders, google had everything to work and the money involved is unimaginable, a social network reaching these values is unprecedented and despite everything it is amazing.


These 500,000,000 pageviews per day generate about $1,500,000 per day, one and a half million per day is absolutely amazing, many people can just dream of that income, this enormous income when translated to years is about $547,500,000 per year, with that you can get a lot of fun toys.


This website is now worth $1,095,000,000 and what makes it amazing is how it started, it's just a kid who quit Harvard and made a killing with an idea, not many people have that courage, he wasn't the wealthiest and he made it work and that is amazing.


I'll make an offbeat follow up on facebook in a couple of days just to get some facts straight, but that's for latter, for now if you want to check out some other web incomes feel free to do it, as well as any other topics.
