"Has the university social network become the current entrepreneurial outlet?" Everyone was full of doubts.
Tencent and Google, as Facebook's shareholders, immediately began to use their own resources to promote Facebook.
Coupled with Facebook's strong financial resources, large-scale publicity campaigns are carried out both online and offline.
For a time, the Facebook website attracted much attention!
Major media around the world are also reporting on Facebook, and college students from all over the world are also wondering why Facebook is so popular in the United States
