Facebook+and+TwitterVM

Facebook was created in 2004 by a guy named Mark Zuckerberg. The website took to fame very well, and very quickly. In 2007, Microsoft jumped in and invested **$246 million** dollars for a 1.6% share in Facebook. That is crazy!! Yahoo and Google both offered to even buy Facebook from Zuckerberg, but the website was not for sale. There are more than 500 million active users. 50% of those users log on every day. __People spend over 700 billion minutes a month on Facebook!__ In early 2006, Evan Williams launched Twitter. Twitter is basically saying what you are doing or how you feel, and people will instantly receive your statement. It can even go to your phone through a text message if you are extremely interested. Twitter now has 105,779,710 registered users. New users are signing up at the rate of 300,000 per day. Twitter gets a total of 3 billion requests each day. "Tweeters" will tweet, on average, 55 million times a day!
