See the answer is obvious to everybody, They want to dominate the business world, there are two companies at the forefront of world domination, FACEBOOK and GOOGLE, so their 'agenda' is not hidden. I need to also ask you why did whatsapp and instagram also sell to facebook? Because they know that it's almost impossible to compete with them. If I have an app today that facebook is interested in, I will sell and become a billionaire, because if I don't sell i know facebook has the capacity to research, do something more powerful than mine and get me out of the market. Facebook can reproduce whatsapp, or something more powerful, but it might take them more time doing that and they might not get all the users when they're ready so they prefer to buy from guys already doing it and who also have the passion and capacity to develop it further with facebook's support. The only time a company should confront these two company is when you're very very sure what you have can beat theirs or they can't get you out of the market, Interestingly they're also the companies contribution the most to the future and advancement of global technology.

Nobody is infiltrating into your life, if you don't want to join facebook for example, nobody will force you to join. Nigerians is 18Million on facebook, while our population is upto 180Million, those who don't want to be disturbed are still living their lives.

You can not use the Internet without these groups. Just as you are registered on Nairaland.

It is a big opportunity of the growth of Facebook. If you want to grow, you participate. I bet you have a Facebook account. That is the future. Many benefitted from Facebook. Many will. Their growth will help millions.

Wait for MTN. Let me see Data Crash. With Facebook, we have a chance for free data.

Do you know the possibilities for the young geeks he wants to help?

This is like saying you will not have an email so the Big Brother will not know you.

LOL... Facebook bough over instagram because it had the capacity to dislodge facebook. Do you remember Myspace. It came out years before facebook but what happened? My space was among the first major social media but facebook had an edge over it, facebook was programmed to network people of similar schools and organizations... Which brought old friends together from same schools and maintained new friends from same schools. That was the edge facebook had.
In the informative business you can be overthrown if your ideas are not creative enough. So when facebook sees a threat growing, they buy it before it matures.... That was why the cost ran into billions......

See forget it, those things won't happen again, Myspace Social Velocity couldn't compete with facebook, so it lost, but facebook, in addition to the fact that Billions can't do without it per day, like one-third of the world using it, they keep adding value to it almost everyday, the dynamics of human relationship is not too many, and facebook is almost covering everything - 'Send friend request', 'Follow-someone' 'like' - almost everything others are offering they're offering, Facebook came out with a WOW! factor, that makes them beat the competition, I don't know how many can come out with such wow anymore, because facebook's thousand developers round the world are covering too many aspects. Even if you're able to come out with something, what is the probability that they won't catch up with you before you reach 5Million users.That period you're talking about is gone for life. Even facebook learnt from myspace's mistake. And you've also answer the question, they buy before it matures, but even if they don't buy they can still beat that completion, how big is foursquare today? What foursquare can do, facebook is already doing with a simple app, so be wise. Facebook and Google will keep dominating, because they're never relenting!

I am happy you know the statistics and that is why they want to get a share of the 60 million internet users by introducing the affordable internet access.....

mpowa:


Your site is not bad. I also have one myself, it's offline now, will be back on-line soon, But even you know you can't grow this site to and enviable height without facebook and Google - You need them for Traffic, Adverts and even Earning, the best most people can do is partner with them, not compete, because no matter what you say others are not listening - they're busy face booking and goggling. And if you want to create competition, God help you, let's see how long it will take you.

mpowa:


Yeah! you're very correct but what would you do about it? Have you created your own solution to compete at that level? If you've not, then enjoy their affordable internet, atleast they're not harming anybody, they're even helping - Whatever their Motive is, as long as it add value to me and my country, I'm cool with - Abeg! Facebook, I get app wey I wan sell o.

riddler4real:



You still not getting it, in my previous post I explained to you the edge facebook had over myspace... And that was what made facebook the next big thin on social media. It was unique at that point in time even the mighty HI5 didnt have such networking.....

Now let me remind you also. Yahoo was innovative it had a search engine, email services, and a multimedia web services but what happened. Google came and dominated the game, how did it do that. thought innovation and acquisition. Youtube was the deal breaker enabling them to develop more in advertisment, they also diversified into mobile tech, computer systems etc...

No one can dominate forever cause perfection is limitless. People are thinking and google and facebook will do what it can to buy over any budding threat to steal the show from them.

mpowa:


But the question you are not answering is why are these people selling? don't they think they can do better than facebook and google. Before people sell they've weight their options and realize that's the best decision they could make.

For example, google wanted to buy facebook, but facebook had enough insight to know that what they have is huge and can compete with Google, though they were still smaller then, they chose not to sell. Facebook will not try to buy Twiter because twitter is doing fine, twitter also won't sell because they can compete. Some of the companies that sold are better of selling because if not they might have become irrelevant by now. Social Network is a different game, when you have the market (especially at global level), it's very hard to catch up

I understand you bro. But Tell me are you lacking internet access? You trusting a guy you dont even know. Because he gave $25 million out of several billions.... My guy wake up. Dont be like our fore fathers who sold their fate and fates of their children to slavery....

Be objective dont be passive. He cant go to Germany and float a satellite in orbit there. These guys have spent billions of $ to tap int our daily lives and they will stop at nothing to achieve it....

It's deeper than what you think

riddler4real:


Thanks bro, I can do that.... Mine is not about networking.... My niche is different. I know I cannot do what facebook does so I have to come out with stuffs that are unique.

I believe if we Nigerians should work together we can do better if not a bit less than these guys....

I believe in us we the people one love

Stupid comment.

riddler4real:

good luck in trusting him but think about it again. He spent billions of $ buying whatsapp...... also bought instagram......and now he wants to provide internet for africans..... and when we are using his gateway to surf the net then our daily lives would revolve around his organisation Do you know they sell informations, data, and records to cooperations, govt bodies and security agencies?. Welcome to the informative age bro and good luck
