Your “network" is a community that helps
keep you united with others and offers many benefits. Networking
via social media sites has revolutionized how we use the Internet and is at the forefront of what we now call Web 2.0. Facebook
is social networking. People have been “facebooking” each other for about 6 years now, making Facebook the most
used social network with over 350 million users worldwide. But how does Facebook work? In this article, we will discuss
Facebook’s inner workings, covering its architecture and frontend/backend infrastructure””the nuts and bolts
that hold Facebook together. How Does
Facebook Work? The Front End Facebook uses a variety of services, tools, and programming languages to make up its core
infrastructure. At the front end, their servers run a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) stack with Memcache. Not a computer science
expert? Let’s take a look at exactly what that means. Linux & Apache This part
is pretty self-explanatory. Linux is a Unix-like computer operating system kernel. It’s open source, very customizable,
and good for security. Facebook runs the Linux operating system on Apache HTTP Servers. Apache is also free and is the most
popular open source web server in use. MySQL For the database, Facebook utilizes MySQL because of its speed and reliability. MySQL is
used primarily as a key-mly distributed amongst rge set of logical instances. These logical instances are spread out across
physical nodes and load balancing is done at the physical node level. As far as customizations are concerned, Facebook has developed a custom partitioning scheme
in which a global ID is assigned to all data. They also have a custom archiving scheme that is based on how frequent and recent data is
on a per-user basis. Most data is distributed randomly. PHP Facebook uses PHP because it is a good web programming language with extensive support and
an active developer community and it is good for rapid iteration. PHP is a dynamically typed/interpreted scripting language. Memcache Memcache
is a memory caching system that is used to speed up dynamic database-driven websites (like Facebook) by caching data and objects
in RAM to reduce reading time. Memcache is Facebook’s primary form of caching and helps alleviate the database load. Having
a caching system allows Facebook to be as fast as it is at recalling your data. If it doesn’t have to go to the database it
will just fetch your data from the cache based on your user ID. Downsides to Using LAMP Facebook
has realized that there are downsides to using the LAMP stack. Notably, PHP is not necessarily optimized for large websites
and therefore hard to scale. Also, it is not the fastest executing language and the extension framework is difficult to use. Mike Schroepfer,
Facebook’s Vice President of Engineering, recently did an interview at EmTech@MIT concerning this. “Scaling any
website is a challenge,” Schroepfer said, “but scaling a social network has unique challenges.” He went
on to say that unlike other websites, you can’t just add more servers to solve the problem because of Facebook’s
“huge interconnected dataset.” New connections are created all the time due to user activity. Facebook
has grown so quickly that they are often faced with issues regarding database queries, caching, and storage of data. Their
database is huge and largely complex. To account for this, Facebook has started a lot of open source projects and backend
services. How Does Facebook Work? The Back End Facebook’s
backend services are written in a variety of different programming languages including C++, Java, Python, and Erlang. Their
philosophy for the creation of services is as follows: 1. Create a service if needed 2. Create
a framework/toolset for easier creation of services 3. Use the right programming language for the task A list
of all of Facebook’s open source developments can be found here. I will discuss a few of the essential tools that Facebook
has developed. Thrift (protocol) Thrift is a lightweight remote procedure call framework
for scalable cross-language services development. Thrift supports C++, PHP, Python, Perl, Java, Ruby, Erlang, and others.
It’s quick, saves development time, and provides a division of labor of work on high-performance servers and applications. Scribe
(log server) Scribe is a server for aggregating log data streamed in real-time from many other servers.
It is a scalable framework useful for logging a wide array of data. It is built on top of Thrift. Cassandra (database) Cassandra is a database management system designed
to handle large amounts of data spread out across many servers. It powers Facebook’s Inbox Search feature and provides
a structured key-value store with eventual consistency. HipHop
for PHP HipHop
for PHP is a source code transformer for PHP script code and was created to save server resources. HipHop transforms PHP source code into optimized C++. After doing this, it uses g++ to compile
it to machine code. Conclusion In a nutshell, that’s Facebook. This article could easily be 37 pages longer if I
were to go into more detail, but to answer the question “How does Facebook work?” we think this will suffice. If you
look past all of the features and innovations the main idea behind Facebook is really very basic keeping people connected.
Facebook realizes the power of social networking and is constantly innovating to keep their service the best in the business.

WHAT EXACTLY IS SOCIAL NETWORKING Social Networking has become very
popular during the past few years, but it can still be very difficult to understand for someone new to social networking. The open-ended nature of social networks add to this. Once signed onto a social network,
having answered a few basic profile questions, it is easy to sit back and wonder what you are supposed to do next. The easiest way to understand social
networking is to think of it like high school. You had friends in school, and you knew quite a few people even if you weren't
friends with all of them, but it's likely that you didn't know everyone. If you ever moved to a new school -- or if you can
imagine moving to a new school -- you start out with no friends. After attending classes, you start meeting people, and as you meet them, you begin associating with those that have
similar interests. Getting started with social networking
is much the same as starting at a new school. At first, you don't have any friends. But as you join groups, you begin
to meet people, and you build a friends list of those with similar interests. Social networking is based on a certain structure
that allow people to both express their individuality and meet people with similar interests. This structure includes having profiles, friends, blog posts, widgets, and usually something
unique to that particular social networking website -- such as the ability to 'poke' people on Facebook or high-five someone
on Hi5. Profile. This is where you tell the world about yourself. Profiles contain basic information, like
where you live and how old you are, and personality questions, like who's your favorite actor and what's your favorite book. Social networks dedicated to a
special theme like music or movies might ask questions related to that theme. Friends. Friends are trusted members of the site that are allowed to post comments on your profile
or send you private messages. You can
also keep tabs on how your friends are using social networking, such as when they post a new picture or update their profile. Friends are the heart and soul of social networking. It should be noted that not all social networks refer
to them as 'friends' -- LinkedIn refers to them as 'connections -- but all social networks have a way to designate members
as trusted. Groups. Most social networks use groups
to help you find people with similar interests or engage in discussions on certain topics. A group can be anything from "Johnson High Class of '98" to "People Who Like
Books" to "Doors Fans". They are both a way to connect with like-minded people and a way to identify your interests.
Sometimes,
groups are called by other names, such as the 'networks' on Facebook. Discussions. A primary focus of groups is to create interaction between users in the form of discussions. Most social networking websites
support discussion boards for the groups, and many also allow members of the group to post pictures, music, video clips, and
other tidbits related to the group. Blogs. Another feature of some social networks is the ability to create your own blog entries.
While not as feature-rich as blog hosts like Wordpress or Blogger, blogging through a social network is perfect for keeping
people informed on what you are up to. Widgets. A popular way of letting your personality shine through is by gracing your social networking
profile with web widgets. Many social networks allow a variety of widgets, and you can usually find interesting widgets located on widget galleries. Why Start Social Networking? Social Networking is a nice form of entertainment, great for meeting people with similar
interests, and can be a very effective business technique for entrepreneurs, writers, actors, musicians or artists. Most of us have hobbies, or things
that we are keenly interested in such as books, television, video games or movies. Social networks allow us to reach out to others that
have the same interests. For example, if you like movies, Flixster can help you decide if you might like a new movie just out at the theaters.
If you like music, Last.FM can help you find new artists that are similar to your favorite bands. Am I Too Old To Start Social Networking? You are never too old to get involved
in social networking! There are plenty of social networks to choose from including niche social networks that focus on a specific theme
like TakePart, a network for social activism, and 43 Things, a social network dedicated to goal setting.
Facebook is the world’s largest social network, boasting
more than 900 million users and dominating the online world in several countries around the world. On May 18, the company
is expected to go public and raise several billion dollars that it can use to fund acquisitions and promote future grow. It’s a lofty goal, for sure, but it’s one that, given the history of major Web
IPOs, doesn’t seem out of the question. Yet another thing that’s not out of the question as it relates to Facebook is its
ability to become the next Google. Since its IPO, Google has become a Web and technology industry juggernaut, establishing
itself as a leader in search, advertising, and even mobile phones. In addition, the company’s innovative exploits are second to none. But for the first time in Google
relatively brief and storied history, a new company has come along with a record of rapid growth and global presence that
could challenge even Google’s unparalleled record. If Facebook makes the right management decisions and continues to innovate in the social
networking space it might use its IPO riches to become an even greater technology industry powerhouse. Read on to find out how Facebook
could become the next Google: 1. Consider the IPOs The similarities between Google and Facebook perhaps become most striking when one considers
their initial public offerings. As of this writing, Google’s IPO is the largest of any Web firm. But Facebook is on
its way to shattering that record. First things first: in order for Facebook to become the next Google, it needs to follow
in its footsteps. It appears to be doing that with its IPO. 2. Advertising Although Facebook started without a clear path to monetization, the company is now doing
a fine job of generating cash off of its user base. In fact, last quarter, it made about $1 billion in revenue by advertising alone. And over
time, the company is expected to continue to increase its ad revenue as more marketers warm to the idea of promoting content
to people based on many more factors—like when they were born and where they work—than Google’s offering. 3. The user base is expanding According to the latest S-1 Registration
Statement Facebook filed with the SEC, the company has 901 million monthly active users. That’s a monstrous figure that is anticipated to hit 1 billion sooner rather than
later. The most important reason why Google became so rich and powerful is because of its ever-increasing worldwide user base.
So far Facebook has the same thing going for itself. 4. Facebook has eyes on other markets Although Google started in search and monetized its
service with advertising, the company quickly expanded into other markets, including mobile, maps, applications many others.
Facebook, meanwhile, is following that same path with talk of establishing a greater presence in mobile and even offering
an email service through its platform. Facebook is no longer just a social network. 5. The founders remain in control One of
the interesting things about Google is that its co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page stated their intention to retain some
control over their company’s direction. In fact, they both had a controlling stake in decision-making at Google even
after its IPO. After Facebook’s IPO, Zuckerberg will have a 57 percent ownership of the company’s shares giving him
total control over Facebook’s decision-making. Make no mistake, Zuckerberg, Brin, and Page all love control. 6.
Regulatory concerns Despite Google’s continued success, the company has faced a host of regulatory issues with governing bodies
in the U.S. and Europe. Looking ahead, it’s expected to face even more trouble. Even before its IPO, Facebook has come
under regulatory scrutiny over concerns about how its users data privacy. It even acknowledges in its own “risk factors”
in its S-1 Registration Statement that it could very well face more scrutiny in the coming years. See the similarities? 7. Facebook is indeed eyeing search Although Google might not like
it, Facebook has been slowly but surely starting to creep its way in the search game. When users type in keywords into Facebook’s
search bar, they’re not only presented with access to pages related to that, but also Web results. With so many users,
why shouldn’t Facebook try its luck at search? 8. The app battle Whereas Google has its own application stores, including Google Play and the Chrome Web
Store, Facebook allows users to access applications from its own service. With help from Facebook Credits, the social network
shares revenue with developers who earn cash from the applications they produce. It sounds awfully Google-like, doesn’t
it? 9.
Facebook’s Open Graph tentacles One of the issues many stakeholders have with Google is that it attempts to bring its innumerable
services to as many Web sites as possible. Although Facebook started as a walled garden, the company’s Open Graph initiative
has allowed it to extend its tentacles across the Web. Look for that to continue in the coming years. 10. Power and influence Finally, it’s difficult to
overestimate the sheer power and influence both Google and Facebook have in the online world. With so many users and so many
Web sites relying on their services for one thing or another, the companies have far more influence in the online world than
most others. Chances are that kind of power will only be augmented as both companies pick up would-be competitors in blockbuster
acquisitions.

 How Mobile Device Brokers Make Revenue With the huge proliferation of Mobile
Devices and Mobile Cloud Computing...the Enterprises-Corporates we work with are now putting thousands of VALUABLE Mobile
Devices onto the IT Asset Disposal pipeline. For example, Hertz Intl in New York just released 1,183 business Laptops from HP...onto the IT Asset Disposal Off-Load channel. These are like new devices - used by their employees only for 122 days. They have embedded 4G Broadband modem, 4GB
Ram, quad core CPU, optical drive; 7500 rpm 2TB hard drive...Windows Professional 7.....wifi
802.11 n.....17.6 wide screen...and Bluetooth. These devices are available to our Brokers for $38 each...on Amazon and eBay the same models sell for $198 to $337 every day. So there is lots of room for profits....but the new Broker has to realize that the units can only be acquired by lot-batches of (usually) minimum 110 to 127. The units have their hard drives scrubbed...then a new version of the op sys is installed....and
usually the basic set of business applications. We have found - without a doubt - that our most successful Brokers make the most money by performing FACE-TO-FACE sales...that is, at swap meets, flea markets, and by the Broker placing small cheap ads in the local newspaper....this is much easier and BETTER than selling on the web....because...we show how, once you make a face-to-face sale, you gain a long term repeat client.
