Week 8

Hey so another interesting week went by. I learned some interesting things on Facebook. I find Mark Zuckerburg's visions interesting. He wants to bring internet to the world. It's really interesting that much of the worlds populations in developing countries still don't have internet access. It's interesting how he wants to tap into this market, I'm guessing so he can influence them through his social media platforms. There is power in numbers and the more people he can get using it than the more powerful he will be. I like that his mind seems flexible to adjust to peoples needs. I learned that he wants to have a Facebook app that is for slower internet connections. This again will open his social media to more people and thus it will increase the value of his company.

I like that Facebook can be used for social media maketing. You can have a page with your company profile. Then you can work on getting followers by liking your page. This helps when you have a product you simply post and your followers automatically know about it.

Another interesting thing I learned is that people have a lower heart rate when using Facebook. This explains why when your having a stressful day it can be very relaxing to browse through Facebook and just waste a bunch of time. Or is it? Perhaps peoples life expectancy will increase as a result of spending large amount of time using Facebook. With lower heart rate maybe we'll have less heart attacks.

It's also interesting that Facebook using increases ones self esteem. This does make sense because you see your best self on Facebook and perhaps you buy into it a little and think better of yourself.
