Venture capitalists are jumping on the social network bandwagon, causing a recent spike in Facebook’s membership count. Facebook was originally started as a way for students to connect, but according to Reuters is now used by 29 million users of all ages and backgrounds.
Companies are continually adding Facebook features and software, including Rodney Rumford, a blogger and corporate business consultant, who launched FaceReviews, a software evaluation site. Freelance developer Craig Ulliott’s travel map application, “Where I’ve Been,” was adding several users every second, overwhelming his ability to pay for computers to support the increase in traffic.
With this influx of everyone from high school students to Fortune 500 businessmen joining, reviewing and contributing to Facebook, we will see how other social networks will compare.
