Kuvavanyo lweminyaka eli-270 lwabathengisi ngesondo eNew York, Intambo igqibile ukuba ama-83% oonongogo abachaphazelekayo banayo Facebook iphepha kwaye ulisebenzise ngenkuthalo ekufumaneni abathengi. Xa kuthelekiswa ne-2003, iFacebook yaqhuma kwindawo yentengiso yezesondo, yathatha into enkulu kwezinye iindawo-ezinje ngeearhente zokuhambisa, iiklabhu zemigca, kunye neCraigslist.
Le grafu ingentla, kwinqaku likaWired, ibonisa imithombo yabathengi abathengisa abathengisa ngesondo. Into emangazayo kukwamkelwa ngokukhawuleza kwe-Facebook, eyasungula ngo-2003 kodwa ayizange ivulelwe uluntu kude kube ngo-2006. Oko kuthetha ukuba kwiminyaka nje emibini, i-Facebook ibanga i-25% yezithuthi.
Okunye okumangalisayo kukuba ngelixa abathengisi bezesondo besebenzisa i-Craigslist ngaphambi kwe-Facebook, ukusetyenziswa kwayo bekuncinci kwaye phantse kwaphantse kwaphela njengomthombo. Enye into enokwenzeka kukuba u-Facebook unomfanekiso oqinisekileyo, owenza abathengi bazive bekhuselekile. Kananjalo ayaziwa kangako kune-Craigslist, enika abathengisi ngesondo amandla okunyusa abathengi babo. Oku kunokuqiniswa kukubona kukaWired ukuba abathengisi ngemizimba bakhetha IiBlackBerry , kuba ibanika ubuchwephesha, phantse ukubonakala okufana neshishini- mhlawumbi ingqiqo efanayo enikezwe yiFacebook.
Ukuncitshiswa kwe-50% yokugcwala kweklabhu yokurholisa kunye ne-10% yokuncitshiswa kweearhente zokuhambisa kunokubonisa ukuba abathengisi ngemizimba bahamba ngakumbi nangakumbi ukusuka kumzi-mveliso wobuso, ukuya kumntu ononxibelelwano oluncinci kwinkqubo yothethathethwano.
Okwangoku, Imigaqo yokusetyenziswa kwe-Facebook sukukuthintela ngokucacileyo ukucengwa ngokwesini, nangona kukho into evaliweyo yokuvala into engekho mthethweni, kwaye ubuhenyu ngoku engekho mthethweni kuwo onke amazwe aseMelika ngaphandle kweNevada. Ukusuka kwimigaqo yokusetyenziswa:
Awuyi kusebenzisa i-Facebook ukwenza nantoni na engekho mthethweni, elahlekisayo, enobungozi, okanye ecalulayo.
I-Craigslist, ngokuchaseneyo, idumile isuse uluhlu lweenkonzo zabantu abadala ukusuka kwindawo yayo, ukwenza into yokuthintela ukusetyenziswa kwewebhusayithi ukuthengisa. Njani okanye ukuba i-Facebook iphendula njani kule datha intsha iya kuba nomdla ngakumbi kubabukeli beshishini.
Nangona unomdla, iziphumo ezivela kwi-Wired zinengxaki. Kuqala bamele iimpendulo zabathathi-nxaxheba abangama-270 kuphela, xa kuthelekiswa nabasebenzi bezesondo abangaphezu kwe-100,000 abasebenza kwi I-14 yezigidigidi zeedola kumzi mveliso . Ngapha koko, isifundo silinganiselwe ngokwendawo nangokwezoqoqosho. Nangona iNew York inkulu kwaye yahlukahlukene, sisiqwenga esinye seMelika.
Nangona isenzo esivaliweyo phantse jikelele kweli lizwe, ubuhenyu buhlala busebenzisa iindawo ezisemthethweni zokuthengisa. Nokuba kukuhamba esitratweni, okanye kwintengiso kwiphephandaba, ibisebenza kwiindawo abantu abanokuzifumana. Kolu khanyiso, ukufudukela kwi-Facebook kusenokungothusi kangako.
Ukuba, kwaye kuyinto enkulu ukuba, ezi ziphumo zingathathwa njengommeli wentengiso yezesondo e-U.S. Xa iyonke, inokubonisa utshintsho olukhulu kwindawo yokusebenza ngokwesondo. I-Melika ibisoloko inobudlelwane obunzima kunye nokuziqhelanisa, icela lo mbuzo: Luya kuphendula njani uhlanga ukuba imithombo yeendaba zentlalo iba yindawo ekhethwe ubuhenyu?
