Mark Jokrberg : Inventor of Facebook

The story of the inventor of Facebook

Mark Jokrberg

When he sat down in front of Mark Jokrberg computer screen in his room housing students in American universities, Harvard University, and began designing a new website on the Internet, he has a clear goal, a website design combines his colleagues at the university and enable them to exchange their news and pictures and opinions.

Did not think Jokrberg, who was renowned for his fondness among students Serious Internet, traditionally. For example, did not seek to establish a commercial site to attract ads, or to publish news or university .. Simply thought to facilitate the process of communication between university students on the basis that such communication, if successful, would have a sweeping popular.

Jokrberg achieved rapid success in a short time

Jokrberg and fired his "Facebook" in 2004, and was what he wanted

Soon the site was popular among students of Harvard University, and has gained wide popularity among them, which encouraged him to expand the base of the right to gain access to the site to include students of other universities or students of secondary schools are seeking to identify the university life.

Continued site "Facebook" is limited to university students and secondary schools for two years. Jokrberg then decided to make one more step forward, namely, that opens the doors of its location in front of all those who wish to use, and the result was a surge in the number of users of the site, rising from 12 million users in the month of December of last year to more than 40 million userscurrently, and hopes to reach number 50 million users by the end of 2007.

At the same time, also decided to open the doors of the site in front of programmers to provide new services to visitors, and enter into contracts with advertisers seeking to take advantage of the broad mass base.

It was natural to draw the rapid success achieved by the site the attention of workers in the information industry, on the one hand, it became clear that the market for social networking online is growing tremendously, and fills an important need of Internet users in particular young people. On the other hand succeeded site "Facebook" in this area significantly.

The result was that Jokrberg received an offer for the purchase of its one billion dollars last year.

Billion dollars is not enough! But Jokrberg, aged 23, was just surprised many around him to refuse the offer.

Site Facebook is used by more than 40 million people currently

Many had predicted that the regret at the rejection, especially that it came after only one year of the company "Uzcorpurishn", owned by Australian billionaire Rupert Murdoch, bought the site "MySpace", a site of social relations, the amount of $ 580 million.

The reason for the refusal to offer Jokrberg attributable to that he saw that the value of its network are much higher than the amount offered. As he said in an interview with the British Financial Times newspaper, he "probably did not appreciate the value of many of the network that we have built what they deserve." He added that the

The communication process between people of great importance, and "If we can improve them a bit of a large number of people, it will have a huge economic impact to the whole world."

And proved the reality of the case he was right in rejecting this offer. The newspaper said "Wall Street Journal", the most prominent newspapers, the U.S. economic, Monday that Microsoft Corp. is seeking to purchase 5% of the value of "Facebook" with a value of $ 300 to $ 500 million, it

Which means that the value of Facebook "total amount of up to six to ten billion.

It is said that Microsoft's monopoly on online advertising network on Facebook at the moment.

Dreams and problems in front of Jokrberg many projects, for example, he wants to continue the growth in users of the network to double the number of

Users every six months, and wants to provide more interactive services in the network "Facebook", though Jokrberg generally prefer not to talk about long-term plans.

But the road is not easy. There is fierce competition from several sites of social relations, including the web site "MySpace", which will be the number of users more than 200 million people, is the largest network of social relations in the world.

There are also reports that the Facebook development system that allows advertisers to use the information provided by users of the network themselves, which, as Zuckerberg denies that such a system raises questions about the privacy enjoyed by Internet users.

In addition, he drew New York Attorney General on Monday, September 24 to subpoena officials of the "Facebook," he said in a letter to the network that an initial examination had revealed shortcomings in the protection enjoyed by Internet users, especially small-scale

Age. He has one of the investigators posing as a young man and entered the site of the network was subjected to sexual misconduct by some users.

He also said Attorney General Richard Blumenthal Konicttikit told the Reuters news agency that his office found three of those convicted of sexual offenses within the network users of Facebook, and on the network to do a lot of steps before he felt satisfied with the end towards the full recipe.

For its part, the network confirmed it is keen to do everything possible to protect its users.

On the path of Bill Gates? Seems clear similarities between Bill Gates and Marc Berg Joker. Both men began work in the information industry in

Early twenties, and both became millionaires in their twenties, too, and both had a vision of success and resulted in a change in the information market has benefited millions of people in the world.
