About this product
Product Information
The inside story of Facebook, told with the full, exclusive cooperation of founder Mark Zuckerberg and the company's other leaders. In little more than half a decade, Facebook has gone from a dorm-room novelty to a company with 500 million users. It is one of the fastest growing companies in history, an essential part of the social life not only of teenagers but hundreds of millions of adults worldwide. As Facebook spreads around the globe, it creates surprising effects--even becoming instrumental in political protests from Colombia to Iran. Veteran technology reporter David Kirkpatrick had the full cooperation of Facebook's key executives in researching this fascinating history of the company and its impact on our lives. Kirkpatrick tells us how Facebook was created, why it has flourished, and where it is going next. He chronicles its successes and missteps, and gives readers the most complete assessment anywhere of founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, the central figure in the company's remarkable ascent. This is the Facebook story that can be found nowhere else. How did a nineteen-year-old Harvard student create a company that has transformed the Internet and how did he grow it to its current enormous size? Kirkpatrick shows how Zuckerberg steadfastly refused to compromise his vision, insistently focusing on growth over profits and preaching that Facebook must dominate (his word) communication on the Internet. In the process, he and a small group of key executives have created a company that has changed social life in the United States and elsewhere, a company that has become a ubiquitous presence in marketing, altering politics, business, and even our sense of our own identity. This is the Facebook Effect.

Reviews
"This fast-paced narrative captures the excitement of the startup world and reminds me of the early days of Wikipedia when I realized we were onto something big. A big revelation is how Mark Zuckerberg 's idealism led him to focus on product improvements rather than short-term revenue gains, and how critical this was to the company 's success. "--Jimmy Wales, Founder,Wikipedia, "This is a fantastic book, filled with great reporting and colorful narrative. The human drama of Mark Zuckerberg and his colleagues gives an exciting glimpse of how to launch a game-changing startup."--Walter Isaacson, author ofEinstein: His Life and Universe, “Kirkpatrick’s telling of the early days of Facebook is exciting. . . . His reporting skills are impressive.â€� --Rachel Metz, Associated Press, "David Kirkpatrick recounts in fastidious and fascinating detail the breakneck development of this 21st century phenomenon. Facebook's capacity to galvanize human behavior has already had vast and irreversible consequences for society, politics, and marketing. There will be many more to come ? accompanied, it seems certain, by some degree of turbulence. It's a fascinating story ? and it's only 6 years old."--Martin Sorrell, CEO, WPP Group, "Kirkpatrick does the best job yet of making sense of Facebook's founder, 26-year-old Mark Zuckerberg. . . . Is Zuckerberg a genius? A flake? A bit of both? The book explains how his many facets fit together." --George Anders, Forbes, "Kirkpatrick's amazing reporting details what happens when a hacker culture turns into a multi-billion-dollar firm.

Makes for Gripping Reading.€� --G. Pascal Zachary, the San Francisco Chronicle, “Kirkpatrick tells a gripping tale of how the company was created and came to such dominance. As someone who followed the story almost from day one, I was still enlightened, entertained and sometimes dumbfounded by the rich detail and juicy goings-on.â€� Don Tapscott, The Globe and Mail (Toronto), “A thoughtful, even-handed analysis of the Web site’s impact. . . . The Facebook Effect leaves you with a deep understanding of Facebook, its philosophies and, most startlingly, its power.â€� --David Pogue, The New York Times Book Review, “Kirkpatrick’s amazing reporting details what happens when a hacker culture turns into a multi-billion-dollar firm.
