Everyone has heard the story of the Internet Bubble.

About being social and without speculation is social media?

There is a massive information emergency measures true Gurus, neo-Gurus, pseudo-gurus, fake gurus and Mr. and Mrs. Anybody Social Media data. It reminds me of some of the famous poorly bubble that was so fast that clutter the very few could predict the burst and as a result of fuel spills. If a cancel the dot.com bubble, just so that the start; the buzz about the prefix of the investment. One just had to add for example, your company name or .com at the end of the around it, at the beginning of the next great brand pretend all sorts of ways a stupid investors driving sheep a cliff edge. At least in this episode, allowed to us at the beginning and end of "boom and burst the section ' to see the actual lifetime of a live one. But we can keep our experience as well?

-All that we are hearing from SM buzz today tulospalvelujen would seem to be the bottom line. They force driving around these ideas are my point of view, all wrong. Is that social media that actually came to life with the advent of Web 2.0, belongs to the real needs of real people, and the actual paths. Promising online profits and the Bank, is a pure utopia.The real thing is promises by concrete stuff in the real world, such as online dating that converts a married couple, blogger, which manages to sell his books in the actual books or hotel that sees more customers in the beds and rooms after building a Facebook fan page. This is the real line!

The Internet is a worldwide showcase for each and all of his products, skills and mental States suspected of.It helps to improve public awareness, sales ideas, strengthening the brand idea but Social Media author has cleared the gigantic open marketplace, a financial framework constituting the Prime reference, today when chitchats. This is what Zuckerberg understands and that sticks (I guess). And that he was manipulated and congratulated.

He is the one who more than anyone to understand that the money involved, of course, diluted, TRUE and friendly service and not the other way round.Refusing to go now and 2012, postponing IPO should he shows his commitment appropriations Facebook better and safer, which interact with the application and not just to the shareholders of a table wine described by means of profits (even if the primary goal is a private company).

When it makes sense, right. I mean, what we have the most precisely to build these tools that enhance the stay connected persons whose information they care about. and path at some point I think it makes sense to have i.p.o. But we have not enabled the company to do so, we have enabled enterprise. to serve more people.


Diane Sawyer ON ABC, Zuckerberg

Going in the opposite way would lead shall be taken in the same diagram we saw between 1999 and 2001.It is all life philosophy.

Another excellent example should Sabeer Bathia, Hotmail, whose main objective was to provide a free service with the widest Base inventor.Until today this talented man's commitment to greater social interaction can be felt, his endeavor to get Internet account at most Indian homes and his Bold (let's talk all) free conference service Sabsebolo website.This is socializing!

These two built their rich in building free social tools do not believe in it.? Yes only.
