Vein of Social Network Celebrates 10th Anniversary

Picture

The site just opened to connect just his college mates is the soul connection between the world !! Its the 10th Anniversary of the Famous FACEBOOK Opened by MARK ZUCKERBERG !! He Reminded a moment having Pizzas shortly after opening FB with his friends !! Its the factor that connecting the whole world today.

In the last 10 years it has seen a Tremendous growth in Social Networking. FB is otherwise called a Social Network in spite Social Network is the combing all other websites !! Today, only one-third of the world’s population has access to the internet. In the next decade, we have the opportunity and the responsibility to connect the other two-thirds.Today, social networks are mostly about sharing moments. In the next decade, they’ll also help you answer questions and solve complex problems.

Checkout the words of  Mark’s words on this day,  ” I always thought this was important — giving people the power to share and stay connected, empowering people to build their own communities themselves.When I reflect on the last 10 years, one question I ask myself is: why were we the ones to build this? We were just students. We had way fewer resources than big companies. If they had focused on this problem, they could have done it. The only answer I can think of is: we just cared more.

While some doubted that connecting the world was actually important, we were building. While others doubted that this would be sustainable, you were forming lasting connections. We just cared more about connecting the world than anyone else. And we still do today.

That’s why I’m even more excited about the next ten years than the last. The first ten years were about bootstrapping this network. Now we have the resources to help people across the world solve even bigger and more important problems.

It’s been amazing to see how all of you have used our tools to build a real community. You’ve shared the happy moments and the painful ones. You’ve started new families, and kept spread out families connected. You’ve created new services and built small businesses. You’ve helped each other in so many ways. I’m so grateful to be able to help build these tools for you. I feel a deep responsibility to make the most of my time here and serve you the best I can.Thank you for letting me be a part of this journey.”

Yes in INDIA People without Bank account is Available but None is there without FB !! It has become a Part of every one Life. Even though FB connects the world it also has many disadvantages and misleading open shares. Due to FB many people have been affected in many ways. Girls photos are been misused, no proper privacy is available so even it has advantages it also has disadvantages. Its our responsibility to take care of yourselves.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FACEBOOK !!
