Why is facebook so successful?

I agree with Sean Parker's decision to advertise facebook after it reaches a big amount of users because than they wont turn "The Facebook" into a social network that has small amount of members and it is crowded with ads. So what they did was when they had a lot of members they released ads. I think they actually did the right thing. Some people say that they should have had ads earlier but that my have screwed the whole business. And also i would rather wait a bit and make billions , rather than have a chance to loose everything.Also their spreading process was very smart as well. They slowly spread it around. First in the States and than even in Europe. This made collages that already had a social network go to Facebook because they had all their friends from other schools there. Facebook is so successful also because Mark did the right website in the right moment , when the world needed that kind of social network. I think that some of the decisions he made weren't the best like screwing up Eduardo to get only 0.03% of the company but  he made the right decision believing Sean Parker. After Sean was arrested he was forced to leave the company and than Mark made Eduardo the Co-founder of Facebook and gave him his 7%. ( Eduardo's net worth is around 2.75 Billions). I think that Eduardo deserved more because without him Mark wouldn't have the chance to even create facebook because in the start Eduardo invested in the facebook , and with that money Mark was able to host the Website and to keep it running.

Why is it important to learn HTML when designing websites ?

Every website is based on HTML. That means if you want to make a website you need to know html. Of course you can just put the html , head and body tags and just write text in the body but than your website will be with only text and very boring. HTML is used in every aspect of the webpage. For example the layout , pictures, background, link . Everything. so its very important to know it especially if you plan on designing websites in the future , or if you are like me and want to know every single thing about computers :)

Copyright Law

Copyright is a set of exclusive rights given to the copyright holder. Copyrights are given to :
  • Music
  • Videos
  • Written Work
  • Computer Software
If you have the copyright you can :
  • Copy
  • Sell
  • Edit
  • Preform or display in public
  • Distribute
Ideas cant be copyrighted but expressions of ideas and facts can be !

There are some exceptions in the Copyright law and it is called "Fair use".
Under fair use you can use copyrighted material if its for :
  • Educational Purposes
  • Parody
And it also depends how much material you use and if it has effect on the market.

Works are in the "Public domain" if they dont have copyright or it is expired.

 My Thoughts on Copyright Law :
 I think that the copyright law is a good thing because it protects all your hard work. I also think that it would be even better if it was more strict. For example i know how copyright works on Youtube. It should be more strict because you can upload songs that you dont have copyright on.. The trick is , go in an audio editing software and make the song to go 2% faster and there you go.Vevo or any other music production channels cant do anything to you because your song is 3 seconds shorter. That way Vevo for example doesn't get the money he should be getting from the ads.
