Facebook is experiencing high revenue and profit growth, similar to Google in the 2000's.
Facebook is gaining in areas such as mobile ads, video ads, messaging platforms, Instagram popularity, and are getting into Virtual Reality as well. How will Facebook look in 5 or 10 years from now?
Some people say Facebook isn't as popular among teens anymore, but I still see teens using it for contacting one another, forming groups with similar interests, setting up meetings, and even selling items like you would on ebay.
For a recent article on how Facebook is growing, see below:

Kevin Systrom of Instagram
VirtualWorld.ca
If you are one of the millions of faithful users of the mobile photo sharing and editing network called Instagram, then here is an article you'll enjoy. Forbes just published a piece about Kevin Systrom, the original founder of Instagram. It gives a good discussion about his background, how he came to start Instagram, and who he encountered along the way. Even though Instagram was sold to Facebook for $1 billion, Systrom will be staying on to run it. It is still early days for Instagram, and they haven't even started trying to earn money with it, so we should see a lot of changes over time. I think Instagram is so popular right now, it should be around for a while. I don't use it myself, but one of my kids loves it. When I upgrade to a smartphone I'll probably sign up for an account then.
here is the link to the article:
