"FACEBOOK EFFECT"

So speaking of IT and Technology that companies are using them to help them in the 21st century, well the time has come when a company is faced with the question of raising profit, they now turn to facebook. Thats right, they turn to an online social network.

"The challenge was taking a mainframe culture into the 21st century" says 40 year-old, Jeremy Burton, a CEO of a private-equity software. Usually when CEO's are faced with the question of how to raise profits, and update there company, they turn to a highly qualified staff for answers. Well in this case, he turned to Tom. Tom was the founder of Facebook, and well i don't think he would have ever imagined that one day his social network would ever help update million dollar companies. 

The CEO announced, "I told all the employees its Ok on friday for everybody to goof off and spend an hour or two on facebook. You wouldn't think this would help, but apparently the CEO does. Burton explains, " In Facebook, they can see what the people who are in the next generation of workers are using already. Every single software company has to go through this software as a service transition. But it's not only how you build your software. It's how your people think. The people issue is much harder. Facebook gets people thinking along a new axis."

This is a great idea on his part, because using a #1 software program, "Facebook", as a model to gain information and insight into what works with the entire world is not a bad idea. This is because of how successful Facebook is, and taking a closer look Burton has found how this is possible, and his analysis is right on point. By developing a software that gets the people thinking a different way then they usually would really is the software that will dominate the market and the people.

Now 800 of the companies 900 employes have Facebook accounts, and use it actively. By allowing his employees use Facebook, they are immersed in a software that dominates the world, and something that had started as a mere social network, now is helping them update their company with thing that get the people thinking differently, and as quoted in the article as "The Facebook Effect".
