Facebook Expansion
In creating facebook the business seemed to start out slow and then increase at a very fast pace. When I was a Freshman here at Grove City my sister was a Hamilton College and she called me and said hey you should get on facebook. So I looked into it because I didn’t even know what it was at the time because it wasn’t very big at the time. I later found out that it was similar to Myspace in that it was a social networking system. The difference at the time was that it wasn’t open to everyone it was only open to people at certain colleges that Facebook designated its service to. After a little while I remember that it came to Grove City and it was a really good way to keep in touch with High School friends and other friends that you didn’t go to school with. However, instead of continuing to keep its niche as just college students across the globe Facebook expanded to High Schools and then to everyone who has an email address. I personally don’t like this because I thought it was cool to just have friends from college and at the college level rather than everyone like My Space and the other services are. So I think Facebook expanded because they have a huge following and are making a ton of money on it but I also know a lot of people that are mad because they expanded so much and did all these different things. All in all I think it was probably the best move for them to expand if their end goal was to get as many users as possible but I am just not a big fan of it.
