Is your face there, too?

Facebook.com is our King of hearts – if you followed the press coverage lately, you know why: “Microsoft Deal Values Facebook at $15B”, or: “Faceberry’ Merges Facebook and BlackBerry” – a deal that puts carrier T-Online in the driver’s seat: it is the first carrier in the US that offers the feature on blackberries – a win-win-win situation for facebook, BlackBerry and T-online.
Here are some facts and figures: Current users worldwide: 24 million, 150.000 new sign-ups each day! Market share of visits to Facebook.com increased by 134% from Sept 07 compared to Sept 06.
And I also found a quote by RBC Capital analyst Jordan Rohan that describes pretty well why facebook is so successful: “Google is all about finding information; Facebook is about communicating that information and sharing it efficiently.” This even more so, since Marc Zuckerberg announced I n May that it will open its APIs for developers. On programmableweb.com you can find mashups that have been created since.
Facebook could easily have 100.000 new applications (says analyst Rohan) by the end of next year which will prevent people from going to other sites and through the hassle of creating a new profile. Looks like a bright future for facebook!
