Does Facebook have a chance to Survive
The first time I started using Facbook was February 2010 when I had only about 10 to 12
friends whom I had already known from my school years but as the time went on I have been
attracting several friends from various places by sending and receiving friend requests Even I
have a friend from New Zealand whom I have never met face to face but we have been
exchanging our ideas through Facebook Additionally I am in touch with the people we were
together once but they have left now Not only I do share my own pictures feelings ideas on my
wall but I am also aware of what is happening with my friends by receiving their feelings
writings and ideas in my page Doesn t matter wherever they are we are in touch with each other
by sharing everything we want We are so involved with Facebook that we even cannot pass one
day without having a look at our pages and finding out what is happening with everyone we
know But to consider it as a business let s find out whether the Facebook which has widened
our social connections for the last several years would continue in helping us to broaden our
social networks further or we should just switch to other social networks such as LinkedIn
Twitter My Space Google+ and several coming small social networks in order to keep in touch
with our friends
Going through the history of Facebook since it is established by a Harvard Sophomore
student Mark Zuckerberg it shows that Facebook became so popular in a short time It attracted
more than 450 visitors and 22000 photos in its first four hours and after two weeks of its launch
Facebook had about four thousands users It attracted about a million people just after ten weeks
Its membership growth continued until the number of active users reached over one billion
people Besides its membership growth the value of this social network Facebook has been
growing so rapidly from a few thousand dollars to billions of dollars Its market value became
about $15 billion when Microsoft bought about 16 percent of the firm in 2007 and after four
years in 2011 the market value of Facebook was about $70 billion (Information System)
However every business has their own peak and growth period but they won t last forever if a
business doesn t consider its problems And the essence and sustainability of a business in a
market is its competitiveness As the Facebook has been known as one of the most successful
social networks by defeating its competitors for the last several years it is facing various new
challenges which treat its sustainability in the future
The history has shown that no business lasts forever There has always been a
replacement for an existing business and the customers switch to where the service satisfies
them Facebook has also been losing its users and investors for the last several months due to
various problems According to Sean Atkinson a research done in America shows that 35 of
overall users say they use the Facebook service less and less over time and companies are
getting to the same approach which is to stop advertizing on Facebook as General Motors did by
canceling its $10 million advertisement right before Facebook offers its IPO (Initial Public
Offering) in the market (Atkinson) As a result Facebook s IPO fall by 27 percent which was
the largest two-week loss of any IPO since 1995 and its stock was left to struggle in the market
which led the pundits to predict the death of one of the most popular social networks in the
world according to Stacey Leasca s article in Alaska Dispatch website (Leasca) To find out
why Facebook is encountering such an unexpected fate in its short term existence there are
various problems with this popular social network to be considered by the Mark Zuckerberg if he
wants to compete against its rivals in current market
Figure 1 The graph shows that Facebook s stock price has fallen down from $43 per share to $26 per share between May 18 and July 26 of 2012

First of all privacy protection is one the most important issues that Facebook users face
during the last several years Everyone is posting a request in their walls to make their friends
bring some changes in their pages sittings because what she posted belonged to her families not
everyone she knows As a matter of fact it is not the job of users to request everyone and ban
them from having access to their private family pictures or announcement but that is what
Facebook should have done by creating some features which should let its users to share only
with expected people Additionally users don t like to watch everybody s post every time he
opens his page or their activities be tracked by everyone he has connection with except in some
circumstances Or everyone likes to share something with only a limited people or would like to
know about them first It could be their families colleagues or close friends but not everyone he
knows For instance one of the problems that Facebook users have is Event In incident that
happened with a German girl in Homburg left several damages because she had accidently
posted an invitation of her 16th birthday party for the event as public As a result 1600 guests
had shown up instead of 15-20 people and the host had to deploy a hundred police officers to
control the crowd Consequently the party ended with arresting several people for assaulting
property damages and had eleven injured (Crimesider)
Secondly the serious problem Facebook is facing is lack of trust of its customers in
spending millions of dollars to advertise their products on Facebook by creating a page What
companies do to advertise their products in Facebook is to only create a page and post their
announcements product pictures or any other event but what they get in return for spending
millions of dollars is a report of how many people have liked their pages That is the report that
the customers receive from Facebook office But when people like a page it doesn t mean that
they are going to buy the product they liked in Facebook definitely There might be different
reasons why some people do press the Like button when they are using their Facebook
accounts For instance it could be a nice picture of product that some people like it or it could
be happened too that a picture is posted by someone s friends and he presses the like button to
show her they are on the same boat
In addition to this problem the number of Facebook users in Mobile is growing very
fast According to the article of Somini Sengupata in The New York Times Facebook has over
one billion active users and 41 of users are using Facebook in a mobile device (Sengupta)
And the mobiles devices don t have so many applications to show different kinds of
advertisements on mobile This is another reason that why customers are not satisfied and are not
getting a positive result though they are spending millions of dollars on their Facebook
advertisements So ignoring the large and increasing number of Mobile Facebook users is
another serious threat against the existence of Facebook Corporation Hence if the companies
stopped advertising in Facebook and go somewhere else the collapse of Facebook is almost
predictable sooner than it is expected because about 83 of its revenue comes from
advertisement and only 14 revenues come from Zyga an online gaming company (Elston)
Third rivals have always posed a threat against an existing company If a company
doesn t perform will some other would enter into the market by offering a better service where
everyone s safety is assured and are satisfied The most serious threat for the Facebook in current
market is its two fast growing rivals Twitter and Google+ Based on Lennox Yieke s claim
about twitter s growth twitter is expanding every day and is increasingly becoming popular
among young people Lennox Yieke says Many businesses are also using Twitter for customer
complaints to reach out their consumers and more And it has also been trying to make an
alliance with one of the most popular and successful PC and Touch devices company Apple
The alliance of Apple with Twitter will lead this fast growing social network to focus more on
growth and additional products which would be like and better than Facebook Additionally
Twitter has been receiving fewer complaints from its users and customers than Facebook
(Yieke)
Besides its rival Twitter Facebook is facing another serious rival which is one of the
biggest competitions in the market for Facebook called Google+ The growth of Google+ has
been a great shock for Facebook in its eight years existence because just in two weeks after its
launch Google+ had attracted about ten million users So Google+ should have innovated
something which has led it into a great competitor against the Facebook The latest innovations
of Google+ including Circle Sparks and Hangouts have been counted as a serious attack
against the largest social network Facebook because these innovations have developed the
usability monetizability and user control which Facebook has failed to do For example the core
feature of Google+ Circle helps a member organize different kinds of friends at various levels
and control the way of sharing process Google+ claims that its Circle feature leads its users to
find friends and socialize with them in a more direct and real
them distinguish between families close and ordinary friends Google+ has filled the blanks
which the Facebook s users usually complaint about The next advantage this fast growing social
network has that the Facebook doesn t is its video chat
chat application but still it doesn t have a group video chat as its rival Google+ has Because
Google+ lets its users have a group chat with up to 10 people
Figure 2 The above regression graph shows that the Google+ has been growing really faster than Facebook by attracting 20 Million people only in its first 24 days

Even though Facebook has acquired a $1 billion photo-sharing mobile service Instagram which
is only available on mobile devices (Intl-Business-times) having partnership with these two
mobile companies would not only help to reach to millions of users but it would also lead the
Facebook users to experience the best performance of this social network on their mobile
devices Second Facebook should fill out the vacuums that the Google+ has filled such as
creating Circle and other alike features To keep its users active and not let them switch to any
other social network Facebook has to make some new innovations in its features for its pages
where the users can share their information only with their target people whether it is their
families close friends colleagues or even with the entire group
To conclude Facebook is better to consider about the quality of its performance rather
than releasing their daily reports of increasing the number of its users Having large number
active users doesn t work anymore because what matters to survive in current market is to have a
large number of customers to be willing to advertise their products in Facebook Facebook needs
to evolve by inventing some new features which should keep not only its customers satisfied but
also its users Users shouldn t be worried about the way of sharing process anymore neither its
customers by receiving an idle report of how many have pressed the Like button which would
mean nothing at the end Or else the period of existence of Facebook as a great social network
would get to its end because there has always been a replacement for an existing service in the
market If Facebook doesn t change itself and not listen to the desires of its customers and users
the predictability of its collapse would be changed into reality And there would be no Facebook
for the next coming years As the following graph shows the revenue of Facebook has fallen
down from 83 percent to 30 percent between the first quarters of 2011 and second quarter of
2012 then it definitely seems too hard to Facebook Corporation to survive But now what DO
YOU THINK Will Facebook survive with its all negative points against its rivals What other
steps should be taken to assure the survival of Facebook

Does Facebook have a chance to Survive
The first time I started using Facbook was February 2010 when I had only about 10 to 12
friends whom I had already known from my school years but as the time went on I have been
attracting several friends from various places by sending and receiving friend requests Even I
have a friend from New Zealand whom I have never met face to face but we have been
exchanging our ideas through Facebook Additionally I am in touch with the people we were

know But to consider it as a business let s find out whether the Facebook which has widened
our social connections for the last several years would continue in helping us to broaden our

Even though Facebook has acquired a $1 billion photo-sharing mobile service Instagram which
is only available on mobile devices (Intl-Business-times) having partnership with these two
mobile companies would not only help to reach to millions of users but it would also lead the
Facebook users to experience the best performance of this social network on their mobile
devices Second Facebook should fill out the vacuums that the Google+ has filled such as
creating Circle and other alike features To keep its users active and not let them switch to any
other social network Facebook has to make some new innovations in its features for its pages
where the users can share their information only with their target people whether it is their
families close friends colleagues or even with the entire group
To conclude Facebook is better to consider about the quality of its performance rather
than releasing their daily reports of increasing the number of its users Having large number
active users doesn t work anymore because what matters to survive in current market is to have a
large number of customers to be willing to advertise their products in Facebook Facebook needs
to evolve by inventing some new features which should keep not only its customers satisfied but
also its users Users shouldn t be worried about the way of sharing process anymore neither its
customers by receiving an idle report of how many have pressed the Like button which would
mean nothing at the end Or else the period of existence of Facebook as a great social network
would get to its end because there has always been a replacement for an existing service in the
market If Facebook doesn t change itself and not listen to the desires of its customers and users
the predictability of its collapse would be changed into reality And there would be no Facebook
for the next coming years As the following graph shows the revenue of Facebook has fallen
down from 83 percent to 30 percent between the first quarters of 2011 and second quarter of
2012 then it definitely seems too hard to Facebook Corporation to survive But now what DO
YOU THINK Will Facebook survive with its all negative points against its rivals What other
steps should be taken to assure the survival of Facebook

social networks by defeating its competitors for the last several years it is facing various new
challenges which treat its sustainability in the future
The history has shown that no business lasts forever There has always been a
replacement for an existing business and the customers switch to where the service satisfies
them Facebook has also been losing its users and investors for the last several months due to
various problems According to Sean Atkinson a research done in America shows that 35 of
overall users say they use the Facebook service less and less over time and companies are
getting to the same approach which is to stop advertizing on Facebook as General Motors did by
canceling its $10 million advertisement right before Facebook offers its IPO (Initial Public
Offering) in the market (Atkinson) As a result Facebook s IPO fall by 27 percent which was
the largest two-week loss of any IPO since 1995 and its stock was left to struggle in the market
which led the pundits to predict the death of one of the most popular social networks in the
world according to Stacey Leasca s article in Alaska Dispatch website (Leasca) To find out
why Facebook is encountering such an unexpected fate in its short term existence there are
various problems with this popular social network to be considered by the Mark Zuckerberg if he
wants to compete against its rivals in current market
Figure 1 The graph shows that Facebook s stock price has fallen down from $43 per share to $26 per share between May 18 and July 26 of 2012
Source wwwmashablebusinesscom why Facebook s stock is tanking
First of all privacy protection is one the most important issues that Facebook users face
during the last several years Everyone is posting a request in their walls to make their friends
bring some changes in their pages sittings because what she posted belonged to her families not
everyone she knows As a matter of fact it is not the job of users to request everyone and ban
them from having access to their private family pictures or announcement but that is what
Facebook should have done by creating some features which should let its users to share only
with expected people Additionally users don t like to watch everybody s post every time he
opens his page or their activities be tracked by everyone he has connection with except in some
circumstances Or everyone likes to share something with only a limited people or would like to
know about them first It could be their families colleagues or close friends but not everyone he
knows For instance one of the problems that Facebook users have is Event In incident that
happened with a German girl in Homburg left several damages because she had accidently
posted an invitation of her 16th birthday party for the event as public As a result 1600 guests
had shown up instead of 15-20 people and the host had to deploy a hundred police officers to
control the crowd Consequently the party ended with arresting several people for assaulting
property damages and had eleven injured (Crimesider)
Secondly the serious problem Facebook is facing is lack of trust of its customers in
spending millions of dollars to advertise their products on Facebook by creating a page What
companies do to advertise their products in Facebook is to only create a page and post their
announcements product pictures or any other event but what they get in return for spending
millions of dollars is a report of how many people have liked their pages That is the report that
the customers receive from Facebook office But when people like a page it doesn t mean that
they are going to buy the product they liked in Facebook definitely There might be different
reasons why some people do press the Like button when they are using their Facebook
accounts For instance it could be a nice picture of product that some people like it or it could
be happened too that a picture is posted by someone s friends and he presses the like button to
show her they are on the same boat
In addition to this problem the number of Facebook users in Mobile is growing very
fast According to the article of Somini Sengupata in The New York Times Facebook has over
one billion active users and 41 of users are using Facebook in a mobile device (Sengupta)
And the mobiles devices don t have so many applications to show different kinds of
advertisements on mobile This is another reason that why customers are not satisfied and are not
getting a positive result though they are spending millions of dollars on their Facebook
advertisements So ignoring the large and increasing number of Mobile Facebook users is
another serious threat against the existence of Facebook Corporation Hence if the companies
stopped advertising in Facebook and go somewhere else the collapse of Facebook is almost
predictable sooner than it is expected because about 83 of its revenue comes from
advertisement and only 14 revenues come from Zyga an online gaming company (Elston)
Third rivals have always posed a threat against an existing company If a company
doesn t perform will some other would enter into the market by offering a better service where
everyone s safety is assured and are satisfied The most serious threat for the Facebook in current
market is its two fast growing rivals Twitter and Google+ Based on Lennox Yieke s claim
about twitter s growth twitter is expanding every day and is increasingly becoming popular
among young people Lennox Yieke says Many businesses are also using Twitter for customer
complaints to reach out their consumers and more And it has also been trying to make an
alliance with one of the most popular and successful PC and Touch devices company Apple
The alliance of Apple with Twitter will lead this fast growing social network to focus more on
growth and additional products which would be like and better than Facebook Additionally
Twitter has been receiving fewer complaints from its users and customers than Facebook
(Yieke)
Besides its rival Twitter Facebook is facing another serious rival which is one of the
biggest competitions in the market for Facebook called Google+ The growth of Google+ has
been a great shock for Facebook in its eight years existence because just in two weeks after its
launch Google+ had attracted about ten million users So Google+ should have innovated
something which has led it into a great competitor against the Facebook The latest innovations
of Google+ including Circle Sparks and Hangouts have been counted as a serious attack
against the largest social network Facebook because these innovations have developed the
usability monetizability and user control which Facebook has failed to do For example the core
feature of Google+ Circle helps a member organize different kinds of friends at various levels
and control the way of sharing process Google+ claims that its Circle feature leads its users to
find friends and socialize with them in a more direct and real
them distinguish between families close and ordinary friends Google+ has filled the blanks
which the Facebook s users usually complaint about The next advantage this fast growing social
network has that the Facebook doesn t is its video chat
chat application but still it doesn t have a group video chat as its rival Google+ has Because
Google+ lets its users have a group chat with up to 10 people
Figure 2 The above regression graph shows that the Google+ has been growing really faster than Facebook by attracting 20 Million people only in its first 24 days

the customers receive from Facebook office But when people like a page it doesn t mean that
they are going to buy the product they liked in Facebook definitely There might be different
reasons why some people do press the Like button when they are using their Facebook
accounts For instance it could be a nice picture of product that some people like it or it could
be happened too that a picture is posted by someone s friends and he presses the like button to
show her they are on the same boat
In addition to this problem the number of Facebook users in Mobile is growing very
fast According to the article of Somini Sengupata in The New York Times Facebook has over
one billion active users and 41 of users are using Facebook in a mobile device (Sengupta)
And the mobiles devices don t have so many applications to show different kinds of
advertisements on mobile This is another reason that why customers are not satisfied and are not
getting a positive result though they are spending millions of dollars on their Facebook
advertisements So ignoring the large and increasing number of Mobile Facebook users is
another serious threat against the existence of Facebook Corporation Hence if the companies
stopped advertising in Facebook and go somewhere else the collapse of Facebook is almost
predictable sooner than it is expected because about 83 of its revenue comes from
advertisement and only 14 revenues come from Zyga an online gaming company (Elston)
Third rivals have always posed a threat against an existing company If a company
doesn t perform will some other would enter into the market by offering a better service where
everyone s safety is assured and are satisfied The most serious threat for the Facebook in current
market is its two fast growing rivals Twitter and Google+ Based on Lennox Yieke s claim
about twitter s growth twitter is expanding every day and is increasingly becoming popular
among young people Lennox Yieke says Many businesses are also using Twitter for customer
complaints to reach out their consumers and more And it has also been trying to make an
alliance with one of the most popular and successful PC and Touch devices company Apple
The alliance of Apple with Twitter will lead this fast growing social network to focus more on
growth and additional products which would be like and better than Facebook Additionally
Twitter has been receiving fewer complaints from its users and customers than Facebook
(Yieke)
Besides its rival Twitter Facebook is facing another serious rival which is one of the
biggest competitions in the market for Facebook called Google+ The growth of Google+ has
been a great shock for Facebook in its eight years existence because just in two weeks after its
launch Google+ had attracted about ten million users So Google+ should have innovated
something which has led it into a great competitor against the Facebook The latest innovations
of Google+ including Circle Sparks and Hangouts have been counted as a serious attack
against the largest social network Facebook because these innovations have developed the
usability monetizability and user control which Facebook has failed to do For example the core
feature of Google+ Circle helps a member organize different kinds of friends at various levels
and control the way of sharing process Google+ claims that its Circle feature leads its users to
find friends and socialize with them in a more direct and real
them distinguish between families close and ordinary friends Google+ has filled the blanks
which the Facebook s users usually complaint about The next advantage this fast growing social
network has that the Facebook doesn t is its video chat
chat application but still it doesn t have a group video chat as its rival Google+ has Because
Google+ lets its users have a group chat with up to 10 people
Figure 2 The above regression graph shows that the Google+ has been growing really faster than Facebook by attracting 20 Million people only in its first 24 days

Even though Facebook has acquired a $1 billion photo-sharing mobile service Instagram which
is only available on mobile devices (Intl-Business-times) having partnership with these two
mobile companies would not only help to reach to millions of users but it would also lead the
Facebook users to experience the best performance of this social network on their mobile
devices Second Facebook should fill out the vacuums that the Google+ has filled such as
creating Circle and other alike features To keep its users active and not let them switch to any
other social network Facebook has to make some new innovations in its features for its pages
where the users can share their information only with their target people whether it is their
families close friends colleagues or even with the entire group
To conclude Facebook is better to consider about the quality of its performance rather
than releasing their daily reports of increasing the number of its users Having large number
active users doesn t work anymore because what matters to survive in current market is to have a
large number of customers to be willing to advertise their products in Facebook Facebook needs
to evolve by inventing some new features which should keep not only its customers satisfied but
also its users Users shouldn t be worried about the way of sharing process anymore neither its
customers by receiving an idle report of how many have pressed the Like button which would
mean nothing at the end Or else the period of existence of Facebook as a great social network
would get to its end because there has always been a replacement for an existing service in the
market If Facebook doesn t change itself and not listen to the desires of its customers and users
the predictability of its collapse would be changed into reality And there would be no Facebook
for the next coming years As the following graph shows the revenue of Facebook has fallen
down from 83 percent to 30 percent between the first quarters of 2011 and second quarter of
2012 then it definitely seems too hard to Facebook Corporation to survive But now what DO
YOU THINK Will Facebook survive with its all negative points against its rivals What other
steps should be taken to assure the survival of Facebook

Even though Facebook has acquired a $1 billion photo-sharing mobile service Instagram which
is only available on mobile devices (Intl-Business-times) having partnership with these two
mobile companies would not only help to reach to millions of users but it would also lead the
Facebook users to experience the best performance of this social network on their mobile
devices Second Facebook should fill out the vacuums that the Google+ has filled such as
creating Circle and other alike features To keep its users active and not let them switch to any
other social network Facebook has to make some new innovations in its features for its pages
where the users can share their information only with their target people whether it is their
families close friends colleagues or even with the entire group
To conclude Facebook is better to consider about the quality of its performance rather
than releasing their daily reports of increasing the number of its users Having large number
active users doesn t work anymore because what matters to survive in current market is to have a
large number of customers to be willing to advertise their products in Facebook Facebook needs
to evolve by inventing some new features which should keep not only its customers satisfied but
also its users Users shouldn t be worried about the way of sharing process anymore neither its
customers by receiving an idle report of how many have pressed the Like button which would
mean nothing at the end Or else the period of existence of Facebook as a great social network
would get to its end because there has always been a replacement for an existing service in the
market If Facebook doesn t change itself and not listen to the desires of its customers and users
the predictability of its collapse would be changed into reality And there would be no Facebook
for the next coming years As the following graph shows the revenue of Facebook has fallen
down from 83 percent to 30 percent between the first quarters of 2011 and second quarter of
2012 then it definitely seems too hard to Facebook Corporation to survive But now what DO
YOU THINK Will Facebook survive with its all negative points against its rivals What other
steps should be taken to assure the survival of Facebook
