Recently, Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) accomplished its long awaited initial public offering ($38 per share) raising almost $16 billion. The Facebook IPO came at a time of global economic turmoil but it survived despite the obstacle of poor timing. Facebook also bought Instagram for $300 million cash and 23 million in Facebook stock. Instagram is a mobile photo and video social media networking application that allows users to share visual content instantly on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Tumblr, Flickr, LinkedIn and Foursquare. To cap off the weekend, in a back yard wedding, Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg married his long time college sweet heart, Doctor Priscilla Chan. Looking at all the work ahead for Facebook to reinvent itself, I believe the purchase of Instagram by Facebook provides a solution to build out social media photo and video content mobile apps which had been lacking says James Rickman III, Director of iHuman Evolution.

Looking at all the work ahead for Facebook to reinvent itself, I believe the purchase of Instagram by Facebook provides a solution to build out social media photo and video content mobile apps which had been lacking says James Rickman III, Director of iHuman Evolution. The opportunities here for Facebook to provide users with a platform to share their experiences in a visual way also provides the ability to for individuals to create news stories and product recommendations. Combining this type of mobile social media content technology with Facebooks recent acquisition of Karma Science Inc. (tailored gift mobile device ecommerce app) makes a lot of sense. It also acquires a new team of highly skilled mobile Internet marketing programmers that are now part of the Facebook team comments Mr. Rickman. The tight integration Facebook has with ecommerce gaming apps like Zynga make it a potentially valuable educational platform. The Karma purchase by Facebook is particularly exciting because it enhances the customer experience allows people to shop and accept gifts on their mobile device. Its social media ecommerce in its truest form states, James Rickman III Director of iHuman Evolution. Karma provides shoppers with the option of accepting gifts from friends, swapping the gift for another of equal value and donating the gift to a local charity. Its a better consumer experience that is socially conscious building value and putting the power in the hands of individuals. Today, Google has 66% of the U.S. search engine traffic. However, Facebook is poised to announce a mobile search engine capable of capturing its 900+ million users instantly. iHuman Evolution research data shows that Facebook demographics have 50% of user between the ages 18 34 years old. This new generation Y also comprises 50% of the worlds population. Its a reason weve seen the Middle East uprisings and U.S. Occupy movements, comments Mr. Rickman. Like the 1960s when we saw Woodstock, now a new generation of people is rapidly imposing their vision on the world. Information moves in real time now through mobile Internet devices across global borders. Thats a scary prospect for governments and companies trying to control their image and message. eCommerce social media will displace traditional brick and mortar in a sense as the cost efficiencies are realized versus expense overhead and static business inventory. The challenge arises to simplify tax codes across the board to promote seamless mobile ecommerce worldwide. Dispute resolution laws like
those pioneered in Singapore will become common place and cost effective in handling issues. Pricing will also be a challenge in foreign markets as Facebook moves to capture mobile ecommerce. Currency exchange issues during Facebook commerce are easy to handle using services like Zangya, Zash Pay, PayPal and MoneyGram. Today, we see the explosion of entrepreneurs in places like Africa, Brazil, Australia, Canada, India, China, South Korea, Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia. Facebook is well positioned in world markets with 32% users (179 million) in the United States and Canada. Europe ranks second in total penetration, with 229 million out of the region's 595 million people, or 38 percent, using the service. In Asia, Facebook counts 212 million users, just 5 percent of the 4.3 billion people who live there. And the rest of the world isn't much better; according to Facebook, 225 million use the service, or 11 percent of the 2.01 billion people. Theres a lot of growth potential ahead for Facebook in the mobile Internet marketplace particularly in Asia. Its a matter now to open up the Chinese market that will involve political pressure from the U.S. leaders in Washington D.C. Facebook advertising revenues should reach $6.70 billion in 2013 says James Rickman III, Director of iHuman Evolution. We estimate about 28% to 30% ad growth on Facebook over the next 18- months. Now that its a public company, Facebook must move aggressively to deliver value to stock holders. This can be accomplished through partnerships between Facebook and mobile device manufacturers such as Barnes & Noble (NOOK), Amazon (Kindle), Apple, Nokia, Samsung, LG and telecommunications network companies like AT&T, Verizon and others. The success of Facebook going forward hinges on its ability to rapidly transform the Facebook social network into the Facebook ecommerce social media experience. Mark Zuckerberg and his team must develop a new business model that creates sustainable retail mobile Internet marketplaces worldwide. The key to Facebook accomplishing this goal is innovation and the ability to lead the world in creating powerful consumer experiences says James Rickman III, Director of iHuman Evolution.
