Facebook's Timeline
Facebook recently introduced its Timeline layout to the 850 million monthly people that use Facebook. This layout is used to make it easy to find much of the huge amount of information that the social network has found about each of its users and to prompt them to add and share even more in a way that's easy to analyze. Facebook's motivation is to target the advertisements that are responsible for 85% of its revenue. In which, successful targeting is a numbers game. If reported trends have held steady, Facebook's data warehouse was adding 625,000 terabytes of compressed data daily by last January. Timeline's new features are bound to enhance that number dramatically, potentially providing Facebook with more personal data than any other ad seller online can access.
Assumptions: I think that they are going to better Facebook into a better Social Media site than it already is. I feel like maybe they are going to make new layouts to make people try new things and see how they all workout.
What surprises me the most?: What surprises me the most is how much of the revenue is based on their advertisements.
Possibilities: Some possibilities are that the world of the Social Media site Facebook will have a huge increase of users as the younger generation are able to join Facebook and see all the different advertisements.
Other comments I have to offer: There are about 2.7 new "likes" and comments daily. There are also more the 100 billion friend connections as of December 31, 2011. About 126 MB is the volume of photo and video data per user.

2009The TR10: Liquid Battery is being used. This type of battery is being used because its a cheaper product to use.
