...people (end user) use Facebook and what do they do when they are there? Nadkarni & Hofmann (2012) investigated the factors contributing to Facebook (hereafter FB) use based on the researches on psychology, technical features of FB, demography and personality of FB users, and suggested a dual-factor model of FB use. In accordance with the model, FB users are motivated by two essential needs: (1) the need to belong and (2) the need for self-presentation. The need to belong can be referred as the innate drive to have a relationship with others and gain social acceptance, and the need for self-presentation as an impression management in which people attempt to influence the perception of their image. These two factors can work as a pair or singly for FB use. For example, the number of FB friends and a desirable presentation of self on FB positively associate with the degree of subjective well being and users’ self-esteem because of visualization of social networking (Kim & Lee, 2011). FB enables users to create own profiles including name, gender, date of birth, e-mail address, home town, personal interests, job information and photograph (Facebook, 2016). The interactions on FB are the friends list, the wall, pokes, status, events, photos, video, messages, chat, groups and like. The friends list is a significant part of FB, because it enables the endusers to create a public display of their accounts which viewers can click to expand the network. Like allows users to give positive...

Its initial purpose was to form a social network exclusive to Harvard, allowing the viewing of students’ personal details to the entire student body and to create a platform for communication. Within four months, Facebook had expanded to thirty colleges and had 150,000 users. With a large capital investment backing, Zuckerberg left Harvard to incorporate Facebook, Inc. (FB) and develop its platform full-time (Eisenmann, Piskorski, & Smith, 2014). In 2006, FB had developed an algorithm that revolutionized targeted marketing. The algorithm used the user provided data to target content and...

...I would choose the perspective of the plaintiff, Fred Falldown. It is important to know that any business which welcomes the public onto their premises is legally responsible with keeping those people safe. All the stores that invites the public in to purchase goods, face some obligations to keep customers out of harm. In this case the defendant FB Grocery is guilty of causing injury to Fred. There was a slippery substance on aisle five and Fred slipped due to that. As per the law of a Premises Liability case in the State of Texas the condition "a" is satisfied as the premise was dangerous. Fred cannot be said to be negligent as he never expected any slippery substance on the floor of the grocery. The condition was not so obvious, and there is no reason to blame...

...teams (Michael). While in college, three games between four teams decide the national champion (Michael). The college football playoff is better because teams have to deserve the right to be in the playoff. For example, teams in the NFL can be 9-7 and walk into the playoffs (Michael). In the NFL, there are only 32 teams fighting for 12 playoff spots. For an NFL team, if their record is a little over .500, they have a shot at getting into the playoffs. For example, the Washington Redskins and the Houston Texans are both made the playoffs for 2016. They had the same record at 9-7 ("NFL"). That is one game above five-hundred. In college football, all four teams in the college football playoff in 2016 combined for 3 losses on the whole season ("FBS"). This does not mean that the NFL does not have good games, it just means there is more at stake for college games. Over the past 11 years, the average margin of victory in the Super Bowl is 22.4 points (Reilly). While the college football championship game's average margin of victory has been 12.7 points in the past 10 years (Reilly). College football's championship has proven to be more exciting over the years, giving fans crazy plays and exciting...

Facebook is the biggest social-media platform worldwide with $1.06 billion MAU (monthly active users) and $618 million DAU (daily active users).
