December 22nd, 2014 byadam
_[Image Credit](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/85/Graffiti_berlin_wall.JPG)_ **Facebook represents the ultimate success** that can be achieved by a technology company in the current paradigm; publicly traded with a valuation in the billions and broad global use of the service.
