Set Reminders on Facebook and Never Forget an Event!

Facebook has become a staple in everyone’s life. If you stood at the end of a street and asked every other person who passed you by if they had a Facebook account, chances are that most of them would say yes. And this would not be surprising at all because according to official statistic Facebook has over 2 billion users! This means that a significant population of the entire world is on the website! This makes Facebook one of the most popular social media networks to exist! However, it should be noted that Facebook was not always this big or this successful.

In fact Facebook has incredibly humble beginnings; it was started in a college dormitory by a few students. Granted the students were at Harvard university; it was still a feat to make such an incredible website sitting inside of their university dorm room. The initial website was called ‘The Facebook’ and was only accessible to students at Harvard. However, soon after it was seen that the website was becoming popular at other university campuses across America and soon word spread like wildfire and the website went beyond just the reach of university students and slowly rose to become the phenomenon it is today.

In 13 years, after the initial launch of Facebook in 2004, the website has become one of the most popular websites in the world and hands down the post popular social media network on the face of the planet. Facebook has only become more and more successful as time has passed. Other social media websites such as Bebo, MySpace and Orkut slowly became outdated and it was expected that the same fate would await Facebook but somehow the website persevered.

In all honesty, this is not surprising or a fluke; the reason for Facebook’s success is because the people behind Facebook have worked hard and have achieved the heights of success they have today because of their constant drive to make Facebook better for its users. Over time if one looks at how Facebook was back in 2004 to what it is today; there are major differences to be seen. It is not surprising that Facebook is so successful. Initially you could just update your profile with a little information about you, upload pictures and write on other peoples’ walls. Now Facebook has given people the capability to do much more. From being able to advertise your business, to live stream events to setting reminders for events; you can do so much more on Facebook. More than anyone would have ever imagined possible.

With the incredibly popularity of Facebook as a social media network, people started wondering if the service would always remain free since there were rumors that Facebook would start charging for it. But founder Mark Zuckerberg dispelled all rumors of a rumor which made anyone believe that they would have to pay a fee to use Facebook or any of its other services. The reason behind this was that people did not know how Facebook stayed afloat. How does this company afford to stay afloat and even profitable if they are providing all their services to users for free?

This question is very easily answered and chances are you already know the answer. This is because Facebook uses advertising and charges for advertisements and sponsored posts. This helps them make money and even a profit. Other than that, Facebook is now a company which trades on the stock market. In 2017 alone, they sold over 40 million dollars worth of stocks within a few hours of the stock becoming available!

This was no mean feat and was considered very successful. Everyone knew for a fact that as soon as Facebook’s stock hit the market it would cause havoc since everyone would try to get some of them. It would be incredibly surprising if this was not the case and everyone expected the stock to be sold out as soon as it hit the market.

Facebook’s success has been monumental. Other than Facebook they now own a lot of other applications and tech companies but the most popular takeovers they did were with Instagram and WhatsApp. Everyone worried this would ruin these companies and Facebook would make too many changes however this was not the case and the services provided by all of these companies remains more or less the same.

With the immense popularity of Facebook the company realizes the responsibility they have on their shoulders and hence are constantly innovating to make sure they introduce new features which their users will enjoy. It is very important that they do not let their users get bored and hence need to introduce new features to keep user interest.

One of the most interesting features Facebook has introduced as of late is the option to set reminders on Facebook. This feature has gained immense popularity amongst users because of how easy it is to use and how simple it is to navigate through it.
