When Microsoft bought a minority stake in FaceBook a few years ago, the transaction valued FaceBook at $15 billion. At the time, FaceBook had 49 million users, making each one worth around $306. FaceBook now has 175 million users, so you can see that social networking (and its perceived value) is growing exponentially.
Why? Social networking has overtaken e-mail as the fourth most popular Internet activity. It's how more people talk with one another, schedule events, and share content like photos, videos, web links, news stories, and blog posts.
Our new Facebook page consolidates our blogs, forums, videos, and events all in one place. It's a one-stop-shop if you want to see the latest information about the company.
Please become a fan of our new page on Facebook. And please tell your friends and family about it, too!
PS - We're also on Twitter.
