Recommended Book: The Facebook Effect

David Kirkpatrick, the former technology editor at Fortune, explores how Facebook went from an extracurricular project to a company with over 500 million users. Kirkpatrick provides both a corporate history and analysis of Facebook's impact on our lives. As Facebook continues its rapid growth, it creates surprising effects, even influencing political movements in the Arab world. This fascinating new book tells how founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg created a company that has changed social life not only in the United States but all over the world. The Facebook Effect can be borrowed from the Felician College Business Library.
