Chapter 464 "Happy Farm" is popular on Facebook (second update)

"Could it be that the university social network has become the current entrepreneurial outlet?" Everyone was full of doubts.

Tencent and Google, as shareholders of Facebook, immediately began to use their own resources to promote Facebook.

Coupled with Facebook's strong financial resources, large-scale publicity actions are being 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 various countries are also curious about why Facebook is so popular in the United States?
Out of curiosity, they all registered Facebook accounts one after another, and then became loyal users of Facebook.A week later, Facebook was popular at universities in Britain, France, Germany, China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and more.

Facebook has become the hottest social network for college students!
Although FaceToFace has also done a lot of publicity, the effect is not good. People are used to using Facebook, so they will not use FaceToFace again.

On April 4th, a set of data was announced on the homepage of the Facebook website. There were as many as 15 million registered users on Facebook, and 360 million daily active users!
But each other's FaceToFace registered users are only a little over 50, and many users have not logged in to the website for a long time.Harvard University was originally the base camp of FaceToFace. Before that, 85% of the teachers and students became FaceToFace users, but recently Harvard students have registered accounts on the Facebook website, apparently to abandon FaceToFace.

On April 4, the Facebook website announced that in response to the requests of the majority of users, it launched the Facebook high school version, that is, from today, the Facebook website accepts high school students to register for an account.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately spread in middle schools all over the world.

Facebook is very popular and fashionable in universities, and many high school students also want to register accounts.Moreover, many freshmen have just graduated from middle school, so they naturally still have contact with many friends in middle school. Facebook is so popular in college, it is really cool, and those middle school friends who recommended it to them know.

However, Facebook previously restricted only college students from registering accounts, which made those high school students who wanted to join Facebook sigh.

But now, Facebook actually allows high school students to register accounts. Doesn’t that make them overjoyed, and immediately register accounts? !
On this day alone, 55 high school students registered accounts on Facebook.

The next day, as more and more high school students registered, and word of mouth spread, Facebook quickly became popular in middle schools around the world.

The development of Facebook is simply lightning-fast, and FaceToFace was caught off guard.In addition, various venture capital companies were stunned and regretful.

Many people think that Facebook is just a university social network, but now that I think about it, I am so stupid. Facebook just uses the university social circle as a breakthrough, and then gradually expands the circle.

By the end of April, Facebook had more than 4 million users and more than 750 million daily active users.

Compared with FaceToFace, its registered users can only break through 100 million. This is the result of FaceToFace spending money to buy traffic and advertising.In addition, what is more embarrassing is that FaceToFace has less than 10 daily active users...

On May 5, Facebook made another new move, announcing to the outside world that it has launched an application programming interface API, and third-party software developers are very welcome to develop application software for Facebook.

As soon as this move came out, third-party software developers responded one after another!
Senior Internet experts believe that Facebook has made another good move. Facebook’s launch of the application programming interface API means that more software will be provided to users on the Facebook website, which will not only increase Facebook’s user stickiness, but also attract more users. Sign up for a Facebook account.

Page Game Workshop has been developing "Happy Farm" for more than a month. Now that it has obtained Facebook's application programming interface API, it immediately accelerated the development speed. On May 5, it quickly launched the Facebook version of "Happy Farm".

Right now, it hasn’t been long since Facebook launched the application programming interface API. Page Game Workshop launched “Happy Farm” so quickly, which is considered the first to eat crabs. Therefore, after the game passed Facebook’s review, Facebook also gave it a big promotion on the homepage. Opportunity.

After "Happy Farm" officially landed on Facebook, it became very popular immediately.

"Hehe, the game "Happy Farm" is interesting. While running the farm, players can also experience the fun of 'growing crops'! Of course, what's more interesting is that you can also be a big villain. Go to your friend's farm to steal vegetables, get something for nothing, hehe..."

With more and more people playing "Happy Farm", the players began to "steal food" from each other and never tire of it.

"Fuck, Tom, you stole my food again last night!"

"Hehe, I'm not only stealing your food, but my friends on Facebook, as long as they play "Happy Farm", I will steal all of them! What's wrong, why didn't you collect the food in time!"

"Damn, you get up in the middle of the night to steal vegetables, I'll take the fart! Okay, you wait, when the vegetables on your farm are cooked, I'll steal them too!"

……

"Sister, have you opened "Happy Farm" recently?"

"Yeah, I found it quite fun..."

"Of course you think it's fun, you don't go to bed at five o'clock in the morning, you ran to my vegetable field to steal vegetables, do you still want to take a beauty sleep?!"

……

In the classroom, two girls chatted.

"Oh, it's so annoying recently, people always pay attention to me and add me as friends!"

"This is a good thing, what are you bothering..."

"What a fart, they all come to my vegetable field to steal vegetables. However, I also steal their vegetables..."

"Steal food???"

"Fuck, you haven't opened "Happy Farm" yet? Oh, God, you are too out!"

……

Because of the "Happy Farm" fire, the activity of Facebook users has increased significantly, and many people have specially updated their Facebook personal homepages.

"Everyone, please do me a favor, please don't steal my food again, please let me go!"

"The furthest distance in the world is not between life and death, but that you are stealing my food, but I don't know it!"

"Gently, I stole, just as I came gently, click the mouse lightly, and never let go of a fruit."

"Haha, a farmer who doesn't want to steal vegetables is not a good farmer!"

"..."

Because there are too many people stealing vegetables, now, the first thing Facebook users do after logging in to their accounts is to see if the vegetables on their farms are cooked, and collect them quickly to avoid being stolen by thieves.

In early June, Facebook announced that its registered users exceeded 6 million and its daily active users reached 1500 million. This result is shocking.

A large office building in the Los Angeles suburbs, Facebook Inc. has moved out of Stanford University.

William and Tina Gates are discussing the next steps for Facebook.

William said excitedly: "I didn't expect that "Happy Farm" would be so popular, and it would be popular all over Facebook! At this moment, countless netizens are calling on Facebook to lift restrictions and allow them to register accounts. I think I just took this opportunity to agree to them! What do you think, Tina?"

Tina Gates nodded: "Well, I think you are right. Otherwise, "Happy Farm" will not have such a good opportunity to attract these new users! By the way, I suggest Facebook acquire the game development of "Happy Farm" Business page tour workshop!

The success of "Happy Farm" made us realize the importance of games to Facebook.The acquisition of Page Game Workshop can prevent other companies from poaching Page Game Workshop and putting "Happy Farm" on their website; secondly, Facebook can develop its own games in the future! "

William nodded and said, "Well, then do as you said!"
