Giant of the times

"Have university social networks become the current hot spot for entrepreneurship?" Everyone was filled with doubts.

As shareholders of Facebook, Tencent and Google immediately began to use their own resources to promote Facebook.

In addition, Facebook has strong financial resources and conducts large-scale publicity operations both online and offline.

For a time, the Facebook website attracted much attention!

Major media around the world are also reporting on Facebook, and college students from various countries are also curious, why is Facebook so popular in the United States?

Out of curiosity, they all registered Facebook accounts one after another and became loyal Facebook users. A week later, Facebook became popular in universities in the UK, France, Germany, China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and other countries.

Facebook has become the most popular social network for college students right now!

Although FaceToFace has done a lot of publicity, the effect is not good. People have become accustomed to using Facebook and will no longer use FaceToFace.

On April 15th, a set of data was announced on the homepage of the Facebook website. There were as many as 3.6 million registered users on Facebook and as many as 2.5 million daily active users!

However, there are only a few registered users of FaceToFace between each other, more than 500,000, and many users have not logged in to the website for a long time. Harvard University was originally the home base of FaceToFace. In the past, 85% of teachers and students became FaceToFace users. However, recently Harvard students have registered accounts on the Facebook website, apparently abandoning FaceToFace.

On April 16, Facebook announced that it would launch a high school version of Facebook in response to popular user requests. From today on, Facebook will accept high school students to register accounts.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately spread in middle schools around the world.

Facebook is very popular in universities and is very fashionable. Many high school students also want to register an account. Moreover, many freshmen have just graduated from middle school. Naturally, they are still connected with many friends from middle school. It is so cool that Facebook is so popular in college. It is indispensable for those middle school friends who recommend it to them to know about it.

However, Facebook previously restricted only college students to register accounts, which made high school students who wanted to join Facebook sigh.

But now, Facebook actually allows high school students to register accounts. Doesn’t this make them overjoyed and register an account immediately? !

On this day alone, 550,000 high school students registered accounts on Facebook.

The next day, as more and more high school students registered and word of mouth spread, Facebook quickly became popular in middle schools around the world.

Facebook's development was so rapid that FaceToFace was caught off guard. In addition, it also made various venture capital companies stunned and regretful.

Many people think that Facebook is just a university social network, but now that they think about it, they are really stupid. Facebook only uses the university social circle as a breakthrough, and then gradually expands the circle.

By the end of April, Facebook had more than 7.5 million users, with more than 5 million daily active users.

Comparing it to FaceToFace, its registered users have barely exceeded 1 million. This is the result of FaceToFace spending money to buy traffic and advertising. In addition, what is embarrassing is that FaceToFace has less than 100,000 daily active users...

On May 1st, Facebook made another new move and announced the launch of the application programming interface API. Third-party software developers are very welcome to develop application software for Facebook.

As soon as this move came out, third-party software developers responded one after another!

The Web Game Workshop has been developing "Happy Farm" for more than a month. Now that it has obtained Facebook's application programming interface API, it immediately accelerated the development speed. On May 24, it quickly launched the Facebook version of "Happy Farm".

At present, Facebook has just launched the application programming interface API not long ago. The browser game workshop launched "Happy Farm" so quickly, which can be regarded as the first to try it. Therefore, after the game passed Facebook's review, Facebook also vigorously promoted it on the homepage. Opportunity.

After "Happy Farm" was officially launched on Facebook, it immediately became very popular.

"Haha, the game "Happy Farm" is a bit interesting. While running the farm, players can also experience the fun of 'crop cultivation'! Of course, what's even more interesting is that you can also be a villain, I went to my friend's farm to steal vegetables and got something for nothing, haha..."

As more and more people play "Farm Farm", players begin to "steal food" from each other and enjoy it endlessly.

"Damn it, Tom, you stole my food again last night!"

"Haha, I not only steal your food, but also my friends on Facebook, as long as they play "Farm Farm", I will steal them all! What's wrong, who told you not to collect the food in time!"

"Damn it, you got up in the middle of the night to steal vegetables, I'll stop you! Okay, you wait, when the vegetables on your farm are ripe, I'll steal them too!"

…

"Sister, have you opened "Happy Farm" recently?"

"Yeah, I found it quite fun..."

"Of course you think it's funny. You didn't sleep at five o'clock in the morning and went to my vegetable patch to steal vegetables. Do you still want to get some beauty sleep?!"

…

In the classroom, two girls were chatting.

"Oops, I'm so annoyed lately. People keep following me and adding me as friends!"

"This is a good thing, why are you bothered..."

"What a heck, they all come to my vegetable patch to steal vegetables. However, I also steal their vegetables..."

“Stealing food???”

"Damn it, you haven't opened "Farm" yet? Oh, God, you're too out!"

…

Because of the popularity of "Farm Farm", Facebook user activity has increased significantly, and many people have even updated their Facebook profiles.

"Everyone, please do well, please don't steal my food again, please let me go!"

"The farthest distance in the world is not between life and death, but that you are stealing my food, but I don't know it!"

"Gently, I stole, just as I came gently, clicked the mouse lightly, and never let go of a piece of fruit."

"Haha, a farmer who doesn't want to steal food is not a good farmer!"

"..."

Since there are too many people stealing vegetables, now the first thing Facebook users do after logging into their accounts is to check whether the vegetables on their farms are ripe, and then collect them quickly to avoid being stolen by thieves.

In early June, the Facebook website announced that the number of registered users exceeded 15 million, and the number of daily active users reached 11.5 million. This achievement is shocking.

William is discussing Facebook's next steps with Tina Gates.

William said excitedly: "I didn't expect that "Farm Farm" would be so popular, and it would be all the rage on Facebook! At this moment, countless netizens are calling on Facebook to lift restrictions and allow them to register accounts. If you ask me, I will take this opportunity to agree to them! Tina, what do you think?”

Tina Gates nodded: "Well, I think you are right. Otherwise, after the popularity of "Farm" passes, there will not be such a good opportunity to attract these new users! By the way, I suggest Facebook acquire the game development of "Farm" Business page tour workshop!

The success of "Farm" made us realize the importance of games to Facebook. The acquisition of Web Game Workshop will, firstly, prevent other companies from poaching the Web Game Workshop and put "Happy Farm" on their websites; secondly, Facebook can develop its own games in the future! "

William nodded and said: "Well, then do as you say!"
