Facebook: Movement or business?

Why not both!?

Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook, delivers a keynote address at the company’s annual conference in San Francisco on July 23.

TIME magazine says, “It’s been a heck of a year for Facebook, everyone’s favorite social network. With a series of slides that looked like textbook examples of “hockey stick” growth, Zuckerberg showed how quickly his network has taken off. A little over a year ago, Facebook had 24 million users. Today? Zuckerberg claimed that 90 million folks — two-thirds of whom are outside the U.S. — use the network. He pretty much guaranteed that the number of active users would hit 100 million by year’s end. Some 200,000 programmers are making applications for Facebook, and have attracted more than $200 million in investment.”

Below is a link to an article from TIME magazine reporting on his presentation.
