Facebook Effect by David Kirkpatrick


Facebook certainly has outdone its product utility, when the number of users in the entire world; exceed 500million and the founder still happens to be the majority shareholder of the company. Owning a substantial 24% of the company, the book was the culmination of efforts on the side of David Kirkpatrick, who was given unprecedented access to the inside world of Facebook founder – Mark Zuckerberg. The founder is hardly the genius the world, thinks of him – he is someone still coming in terms with the hugeness of his enterprise. Zuckerberg acknowledges his reluctance to sell the company, when he could easily off-load his shares in the company for billions of dollars for an early retirement. Today, as we speak, Facebook has triggered a cultural phenomenon, where it is become an internet platform for eager online marketers and individuals who want to make their presence felt in the online web space. For obvious reasons, there are comparisons to Mr. Gates, he is smarter, hardworking and his enthusiastic about creative output from people on his team. Today, the market valuations of Face book, touch anywhere between $10 billion and $20 billion. The book describes about instances where there were negotiations with serious bidders, but then it fell through as the founders were not eager to sell their creation.
