Why Facebook is successful?

Why Facebook is successful?

There was one dialog in movie Border, “Ham hi ham hai to kya ham hai?”, which means we are nothing without others or society for that matter. Imagine if you are all alone in the world; not in forest but with all high class modern facilities. There one to see your success or failure. There is no one to share thoughts. No one to help or to bother.

I am sure any one wishes to live such life.

Before Facebook, we all were sharing thoughts by sending emails or text messages. But it was not that joyful as it became after Facebook. This is because you “share” – with your consent – the communication between you and your friends with other friends. There is thin line between sharing and exhibition. Facebook is often criticized for extra exposure of personal life. I think, it is up to us what we want others to know and to with whom.

When we use word celebrity or something is celebrated is actual related to “population”. Even if you hate some actor and if you see him/her in public place, you wish to take his/her picture to show to your friends. You wish to show to the world that I touched to the point which you all can just see. Forget personality, there are so many human made monuments (for example, Star walk on

Hollywood street

) which everyone wants to visit and take pictures of that.

Those who stay in Mumbai area and travel after Thane to Kalyan, they will know that there was one construction between Diva and Mumbra which had huge name painted on it as “Dadoo Halya Patil”. I am damn sure you can’t miss if you travel regularly. No one has seen this person, but everyone know his name.

Achieving something and sharing with others is human tendency. We love competition, becoming the first one to achieve something. We want to prove ourselves better than others. This is the reason for successful ‘Award functions’, IPL, ‘Art of living’ and many such celebrations.

I think, this is where success of Facebook lies.

See this; I am marketing my blogs on Facebook. I wish that many people read my blogs. I am just simple human being.
