El efecto Facebook: la historia interna de la empresa que está conectando el mundo

Sobre este libro:

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.

¿Cómo creó un estudiante de Harvard de diecinueve años una empresa que ha transformado Internet y cómo la hizo crecer hasta su enorme tamaño actual? Kirkpatrick muestra cómo Zuckerberg se negó rotundamente a comprometer su visión, enfocándose insistentemente en el crecimiento sobre las ganancias y predicando que Facebook debe dominar (su palabra) la comunicación en Internet. En el proceso, él y un pequeño grupo de ejecutivos clave han creado una empresa que ha cambiado la vida social en los Estados Unidos y en otros lugares, una empresa que se ha convertido en una presencia omnipresente en marketing, alterando la política, los negocios e incluso nuestro sentido de nuestra propia identidad. Este es el efecto Facebook.
