Every post you “like.” Every friend you add or fan page you join. Every place you check in, and every Web page you recommend.
To you, those are ways to enjoy, expand and improve your experience on Facebook. To Facebook, they’re the building blocks of a multibillion-dollar company.
In business, there’s a well-worn line that could apply to the social-networking behemoth: If you’re not paying for it, you’re not the customer. You’re the product.
so what .. even though we helpin facebook make billions. we enjoyin ourselves for free.. everything is a business.. i betting the person that post that have a facebook account,, lmao
TELL THEM HOLES THAT AGAIN
CNN publishes dozens of articles a day… I wonder how this one got on DNO’s radar.
I actually read this article early yesterday (before it was posted here) and found it to be an interesting take of the “business-side” of Facebook. Surely, we didn’t think that a social network with 900 million users wasn’t using those numbers to its advantage?!
Facebook has a great business model and if they keep on innovating, they will be around for a long time.
IKR…SIGH…
email me .I want a girl friend .
man! this is soooooooooo interesting…..and good business……I’m gonna make my own D/can social network and call it : THE MAKO BOOK!!!! lmao
That would work only thing is Dominicans though like a good beff, they wont buy your stock.
“If you’re not paying for it, you’re not the customer. You’re the product.”
So, we are being sold, eh? Sounds like slavery to me?????
Now DNO this is a blue print for you to leverage that and see how we can manke money in the Caribbean.
Just teasing, I know its not the same.
So much for our awareness, no wonder so many get caught up into things that bring so much pain. The interesting thing is they appear pleasant, appealing and good. Seek wisdom always
Isn’t this interesting. I used Facebook during my days in school when one had to have a university account to join Facebook(uncool days). Today I am no longer on.
– so congratulations for making Facebook billions people
Is there anyway i can be employed by facebook Trust me , am readily available
sure move to Cali!
interesting article. Wow! Look money that gets made from all of us when that is the furthest thing from our minds. Does anyone consciously pay attention to ads on facebook? I never even notice the ads. Yet they’re there.
And all the farmville players…you helped earn 12% of facebook’s yearly income???Who woulda thought!
