According to data from data consulting firms, in May this year, Facebook's global unique visitors surpassed its competitor My Space for the first time, with the former reaching 123.9 million unique visitors and 50.06 billion page views in May, while the latter had 114.6 million unique visits and 45.04 billion page views.

My Space has 73.07 million unique visitors in the United States, compared to 35.06 million unique visitors to Facebook, and in June, Facebook launched a Chinese Simplified Chinese version, which was translated by volunteer users for free and made available to Chinese users, while Facebook also launched a Chinese Traditional version to Heung Kong and Baodao users.

And as everyone knows, it's only a matter of time before Facebook overtakes my space.

With the support of MM, they have developed rapidly, and Gu Ge is very optimistic about them, hoping to use three billion US dollars to acquire them as a wholly-owned company, which will cause a sensation in the industry in one fell swoop.

According to data released by the U.S. Network Traffic Research Unit, the number of domestic user visits to Facebook reached 68.5 million in September, nearly 20% higher than the 58.5 million of Rival My Space, and according to Facebook CEO Donald announced on his official blog, the number of global users of the site has reached 150 million in January, nearly half of whom use Facebook every day, Donald said, the number of Facebook users has covered all continents around the world, even including Antarctica. "If Facebook were a country, it would be the eighth most populous country in the world, slightly more than Japan, Russia and Nigeria," he joked. ”

Regarding Gu Ge's acquisition, he said that there is no shortage of money at present, no intention of selling, and no shortage of funds for development, so there is no financing plan.

Now they don't doubt the possibility of this Facebook page becoming another Gu brother, so they are not in a hurry to raise funds, and when he develops to a certain point, they will go public in one fell swoop and create their own family empire.

The difference between internet companies and taxis is that they don't trigger a counter at all when browsing the web, and everything seems to be completely free. So the question is, where does the huge profits generated by companies like Gu Ge come from, they don't charge users, and they don't charge users?

In fact, as Pingguo's CEO, Joe Bangzhuo, said: You don't seem to have to pay anything, because "you are the product". When he said this, he criticized Facebook and Brother Gu for profiting through disgraceful means.

In short, when you use their services and they don't want you to pay them, it's because they endlessly collect information about you through your online behavior and sell it at a premium to various companies that extract useful intelligence from the information to target customers. This is what economists call a "two-sided market", where one is free for individuals and the other is for companies.

What do free newspapers and PDF files have in common? They are free on the consumer side of the market, and users can use the search engine, read free daily newspapers, or consult PDF files without paying any fees, but when these services are faced with other customers, i.e., companies, companies will have to pay a high price to advertise or create PDF files, and the market is free on one side and charged on the other side.

This is the new way to make a fortune "for free": make good use of big data.

The duality of the market is one of the main sources of value for the so-called "big data", which is sold to companies that make money by continuously disseminating billions of interconnected targets on the Internet, and for those who have mastered the art of "free" and how to use it, "pseudo-free" is extremely profitable, and the social networks that appear to be "no money" are actually secretly run by private companies with the sole purpose of making profits.

At first glance, it may seem like a free service to use the services of Gugo, Facebook, or Twitter, and users browse the web for free, and it doesn't cost a penny to search or post on the web, but these seemingly free services actually generate astronomical profits through extremely efficient stratagems.

These companies thrive, pretend to be selfless, but they constantly collect an infinite amount of data, including data about users' lifestyles, wishes, health, quirks, worries, or spending habits, which is what experts call big data, and sell it to other companies at a high price, allowing these companies to optimize their communication, innovation, and sales strategies, target ads to their customers, and continuously analyze customer needs based on netizens' answers to various questions, so as to deliver personalized ads with precision.

Facebook is now a platform that focuses on making apps, not making applications, trying to open up all the data that can be opened, sparing no effort to cultivate app developers, and creating the best way for app developers to make money.

Facebook is a huge online store, and app developers are merchants who lease stores for free, peddling their own toys, developers can do online recruitment, app developers can do air ticket booking, App developers can do e-commerce, now there are thousands of apps on Facebook, and they are still growing, among which the apps that really make money are not particularly rich, and when there are 1 million money-making app merchants on the Facebook platform, Facebook will launch value-added services for app merchants, you can imagine how easy it will be to make money on Facebook at that time.

After tossing for so many years, Donald can figure out how to use Facebook to make money, which is a more advanced way to make money, Internet companies almost do this, Brother Gu is making money, and he is making money every day, so he relies on this trick.

Donald believes that this so-called precision advertising is suspected of leaking user privacy, but everyone has done it, and they have made a lot of money, so they have done it, and the company has always taken profit as the first purpose.

Donald asked Mark about this question and discussed it with him, a master of strategic investment.

Mark said: "This is equivalent to a sideline ball, and if you catch it, it will be a foul, and if you don't risk it, you will score." ”

Mark actually attaches the most importance to Facebook, which is a giant in the Internet industry, one of the top ten listed companies in the world.

Therefore, Facebook is mainly invested by Mark, but this equity is divided equally by their three siblings, and after increasing their investment many times, they are counted as Giselle and Martin Jr., and the five of them are one of the five major shareholders of Facebook.

Of course, the current Facebook is not yet the giant of Internet companies, the world's top ten listed companies, Mark's optimistic estimate, according to the assets of the original Xiaozha, each of their shares will be worth about 12 billion, 50 billion billion.

What's more,With the help of this huge media platform,You can exert a huge influence,This invisible influence,Will be the only way to improve the influence of the family,It is in the field of the Internet,And the influence of this MM TV network is traditional,Tradition and the Internet are perfectly combined,They will surpass the Mei Yi family、Lei Shidong family,Become the first media family。

None of this matters now, what matters is that their family has added to the population, and Margaret's birth has brought more joy to the family.

Mark and Giselle are both tall and strong, extremely healthy, Giselle's mother gave birth to six, she is more than this record, not lost to her mother's meaning, for this number, Sophia is satisfied, women can give birth is a real ability hard work, Sophia is willing to give birth to a few more for David, but unfortunately except Kayla, there is nothing else, she is a nobleman from a famous family, and has always looked down on Gisele, who was born in an ordinary family, and has been an underwear model, but Giselle has conquered her with this real kung fu.

Holding two in three years, giving birth to seven children in twelve years, and striving to finish work at the age of thirty-six, such a majestic goal made Sophia very gratified, and praised Mark for choosing his wife's gaze unmatched, and her private collection of jewelry, she simply gave Giselle a lot, and she also promised Giselle that she would only recognize her as a daughter-in-law, and would never let those people enter the door of their royal family.

As the chairman of the family foundation, she personally convened this press conference, announced the good news to the press, and confirmed that Margaret is the seventh member of the family, to paraphrase the royal family, this is the sixth heir, Margaret is different from Marven, the queen of the main palace was born, and it was confirmed from the beginning that she could have the right to inherit and enjoy the right to dividends, and from the moment she was born, it was determined that there was endless money.

Sophia married King David, she was not favored in the family, and was despised and excluded by her sisters, and was called the poor in the country, but now, Sophia has become the richest and most powerful person in the family, and the family fund she is in charge of has won the war and is famous, and she is the richest of the sisters.

As wealthy aristocrats, they received great help from the family at the beginning of their business, in fact, this help is equal, several sisters have enjoyed, but only Sophia They can quickly transform into dragons and soar into the sky, and the extremely harsh Isabel at that time, also under the guarantee of the family, borrowed billions to do business, and as a result, he did not die to invest in real estate, but the crisis hit, losing more than three billion, and owed huge debts.

Back then, her net worth was several times that of Sophia, and now Sophia controls tens of billions of assets, and they have huge losses and huge debts, and interest alone can crush them.

The Ronaldson family will provide support to each family member when they start a business, and the intensity is very strong, but only once, after the fact, the profit and loss do not ask, Isabelle, who owes a huge debt, faces a number of accusations and will be imprisoned, but the hard-hearted old Ronaldson, who is as cold as iron, will never ask, it is all up to Sophia to save her from accusations.

In this financial tsunami, Sophia invested so much, just hoping to make up for this shortfall, and Isabel and his wife alone can't pay it off in three lifetimes.
