From their own point of view is where the problem arises from, which means…

Project Success: Facebook The website was born as a focused network in almost immature task of comparing the girls at Harvard University. Due to the success, part of the community became a yearning among students. First at Harvard, then at Stanford, Columbia, Yale and MIT. This was the driving force factor of the first moments of the network, in the United States and Britain.

relationships between social networks and organizational effectiveness in a professional volunteer organization.
