META, Facebook is one of the giants of the Internet today. Its founders may not have dreamed of this success when they started building it from scratch in their university.

Here, we briefly explore how Facebook started and uncover the origins of its name, as well as detail some of Facebook’s major milestones.

What was the original purpose of Facebook?

The original purpose of Facebook, or “The Facebook” as it was known then, was to allow Harvard students to use their “.edu” email addresses and photos to connect with other students at the school.

Then-student Mark Zuckerberg foresaw a way of bringing the existing social experience of college onto the Internet. He wanted to create a place that could help college students connect.

Why did Mark Zuckerberg make Facebook?

In January 2004, Mark Zuckerberg began writing the code for the new site that would eventually become Facebook. The inspiration for it came from an editorial in The Harvard Crimson on Facebook’s controversial forerunner, “FaceMash.”

This site compared the pictures of different Havard students’ faces and allowed users to rate them for attractiveness. It proved immensely popular overnight, attracting 22,000 views in just 4 hours.

Unfortunately for Zuckerberg, the site violated Harvard’s policy by hacking into the school’s security system and copying student ID images used to access dormitories to acquire the photos needed for the site, not to mention being in dubious taste. The university shut it down within days.

Zuckerberg, astonishingly, managed to escape expulsion. A close call but a useful one.

His experience with “FaceMash” helped spark the idea for a new site — a social networking site where students at Harvard could use their “.edu” email addresses and photos to connect with other students at the school.

Now all he needed was a catchy name.

By all accounts, the site’s name was taken from the sheets of paper distributed to the freshman profiling students and staff at Harvard.

Facebook was subsequently founded in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes — all of whom were students at Harvard University soon after the new site was launched under the URL thefacebook.com.

The site was an immediate hit, and within just 24 hours of launch, around 1,200 students had signed up. Within one month, around half of all Harvard undergraduates had a profile.

It soon spread to three other college campuses in the U.S. — Yale, Columbia, and Stanford.

“It became Facebook.com in August 2005 after the address was purchased for $200,000. US high schools could sign up from September 2005. Then it began to spread worldwide, reaching UK universities the following month,” according to the Guardian.

How did Mark Zuckerberg come up with the idea?

As we have already seen, the idea for Facebook came from existing practices at Harvard for freshman students. In his own words, he was trying to solve a problem he saw around him and not build a multi-million dollar enterprise.

“Yeah, well, I never started this to build a company,” Mark Zuckerberg told Freakonomics Radio as part of its six-week series, “The Secret Life of CEOs.”

Ten years ago, you know, I was just trying to help connect people at colleges and a few schools.”

“That was a basic need, where I looked around at the Internet, and there were services for many things you wanted,” Zuckerberg added.

“You could find music; you could find news; you could find information, but you couldn’t find and connect with the people that you cared about, which as people is the most important thing. So that seemed like a big hole that needed to be filled.”

As we all know today, Facebook exploded beyond all expectations for Zuckerberg and other Founders.

Today, the social media giant has a market capitalization of more than $600 Billion and had annual revenue of around $70.7 Billion in 2019. It has more than 2.5 billion monthly active users and has made Zuckerberg one of the richest men in the world.

However, the history of Facebook has not been without controversy. For example, anyone who has watched “The Social Network” may remember an apparent problem with the Winklevoss twins.

Almost as soon as Facebook was launched, it was mired in legal issues. Twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss and Divya Narendra claimed that Mark Zuckerberg had reneged on an agreement to help them build their own social media site at Harvard.

They claimed that Zuckerberg used their idea and his code to build Facebook instead of their venture. This was disputed for years until a legal case was settled in 2008 for $65 million in cash and Facebook stock.

But this was not the only lawsuit against the fledgling social media site. A New York-based, former wood-pellet salesman called Paul Ceglia claimed that he was owed a large amount of Facebook stock from a 2003 contract with Zuckerberg.

According to Ceglia’s claim, back in 2003, he hired Zuckerberg (then an 18-year-old freshman at Havard) to complete some coding for a site called Streetfax, later Streetdelivery. Allegedly Zuckerberg was paid $1,000 for the work.

Ceglia also claimed he invested $1,000 into Zuckerberg’s “The Face Book” project. Ceglia claimed that he was now owed a large chunk of Facebook shares based on that investment.

At the time, Facebook suggested the claim was “fraudulent” and used Ceglia’s history of fraud as evidence. They pointed out that Ceglia had been arrested and charged with criminal fraud and grand larceny in 2009 when his wood-pellet company failed to honor delivery of over $200,000 in orders.

But the case then got more interesting. The founder of StreetDelivery, Andrew Logan, confirmed that Ceglia had indeed worked there in 2003 and that Zuckerberg had been employed to write the code for Streetfax.

The case, however, was dismissed by a federal judge when a magistrate judge’s findings were upheld, showing that the evidence provided by Ceglia had, indeed, been faked.

Who was the first Facebook user?

You won’t be surprised to hear that the first Facebook profile belonged to none other than Mark Zuckerberg himself. Long before user profile URLs were changed to their current forms, they looked something like “https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=” and a set number.

Zuckerberg’s was id=4.

1-3 were most likely test accounts and have since long been deleted.

The first “real” Facebook user, with an id of 5, was Chris Hughes, Zuckerberg’s friend, and co-founder of Facebook. The next few dozen accounts appear to have been Zuckerberg’s friends, classmates, and roommates.

Interestingly, Business Insider conducted an investigation a few years back and discovered the first 20 Facebook accounts and their relationships with one another.

According to their findings, after Zuckerberg and Hughes, the next few accounts were as follows:

  • Dustin Moskovitz – He helped found Facebook and was a roommate with Mark.
  • Arie Hasit – Arie was the first non-founder account and was friends with Chris Hughes.
  • Marcel Georgés Laverdet II – Marcel was friends with early Facebookers and Facebook founders.
  • Soleio Cuervo – He was friends with other early Facebook members like George Laverdet, above.
  • Chris Putnam – Chris was also friends with other early Facebookers.
  • Andrew McCollum – Andrew was one of Mark Zuckerberg’s classmates.
  • Colin Kelly – Colin knew many other early facebookers.
  • Mark Kaganovich – Mark also knew many other early facebookers.

Facebook is no stranger to controversies

No talk about Facebook would be complete wıth a discussion of the company’s various controversies throughout its history. While we have already touched on some early lawsuits against the company, Facebook has also taken fire for a few other allegedly suspect activities.

One major contention surrounding Facebook is its apparent dissemination of “fake news.” Coming to the attention of journalists during the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Facebook has been accused of allowing fake Russian Facebook accounts to purchase hundreds of thousands of dollars in paid ads to spread propaganda, to influence the election results.

According to these claims, these ads both contributed to and influenced the outcome of the elections. Whether you believe this or not, the accusations continue to damage public attitude towards the company.

In a statement directly addressing this issue, Zuckerberg stated:

“The problems here are technically and philosophically complex,” Zuckerberg wrote after the 2016 election.

“We believe in giving people a voice, which means erring on the side of letting people share what they want whenever possible. We need to be careful not to discourage sharing of opinions or to restrict accurate content mistakenly.”

However, Facebook is still mired in claims that it allows fake news and dangerous propaganda to be disseminated on its site. More recently, Facebook, and Zuckerberg in particular, have been accused of doing nothing to reign in dangerous hate speech on the site, and even of, allegedly, encouraging the dissemination of such speech through company policy. In June 2020, Facebook began shedding advertisers, who claimed they no longer wanted their ads to appear next to posts from hate groups.

Due to the nature of Facebook’s business model, it is also regularly accused of questionable data harvesting scandals. One of the most notable occurred in 2018 when they were engulfed in the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

Allegedly, the data firm was improperly using the personal data of Facebook users to create psychological profiles of them for later political use. This data, so the claim goes, was then used, in part, to help influence elections in the US and UK.

Other tenuous links were made to Russian ne’er-do-wells too.

This ultimately led to Zuckerberg being called before the U.S. Congress to testify in Facebook’s defense. The Federal Trade Commission also investigated Facebook over the allegations.

This, in turn, led the U.S. government to consider potential legislation to help rein in companies like Facebook to prevent them from having carte blanche with users’ data.

“It’s clear now that we didn’t do enough to prevent these tools from being used for harm,” Zuckerberg told Congress. “And that goes for fake news, foreign interference in elections and hate speech, and [for] developers and data privacy. It was my mistake, and I’m sorry.”

It was also announced that Facebook could face a $5 billion fine payable to the FTC.

It is unlikely that Facebook will radically change how they gather and sell user data in the future, as this is the basis for how their Facebook ads, Facebook Marketplace, and Facebook Business Manager services work. For most cases, this enables companies to target ads to specific demographics who are most likely to buy their products.

Given the growing controversy and advertiser backlash, Facebook is taking pains to seem to favor some form of regulation. So long as it is the “right kind” of regulation — though recent evidence to their lobbying activities against data privacy laws may prove the contrary.

Sadly for Facebook, their troubles weren’t over with the data harvesting scandal of 2018. The same year, Facebook publicly announced a hack that affected over 50 million users.

The largest hack the company had ever experienced at the time gave hackers access to sensitive data and account information and any apps users had logged into through Facebook.

All affected users were requested to log back into their accounts and were notified of the breach.

But these are just some of the many controversies and unethical practices against Facebook. Given the size of the company, and the nature of its business, this is unlikely to change anytime soon.

Advertising and Digital Adoption in MENA and SEA

As traditional advertising revenues plummet globally and broadcasting budgets are slashed, The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and South East Asia (SEA) regions have reported tremendous growth in digital adoption and a rise in digital advertising revenue as a result. 

This growth is driven by an increase in internet users, smartphone penetration, and the rise of social media platforms. AI Copywriter tools are now being widely adopted by brands, organisations, and companies in these regions to enhance their digital advertising campaigns.

 Let’s delve deeper into the trends and statistics of advertising revenue and digital adoption in MENA and SEA.

Digital Advertising in MENA

Digital Advertising in MENA

MENA has emerged as one of the fastest-growing digital advertising markets, driven by a young population and increasing smartphone penetration. According to a report by McKinsey, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has the highest degree of digitisation, while Egypt represents the largest untapped opportunity. The report also highlights a growth in the adoption of digital channels and spending in the coming years, coinciding with the increased use of artificial intelligence (AI) across all sectors.

The Market Size

The digital advertising market in the MENA region is estimated to be worth over 1.2 billion U.S dollars in 2021. The market is expected to continue growing, with a projected growth rate of 20% by 2024. The region’s e-commerce market is also expected to grow and reach 69 billion U.S dollars by 2020. The GCC and Egypt account for 80% of the regional e-commerce market.

Media Channels in the MENA

The advertising market in the MENA region is witnessing a major shift toward digital advertising. Traditional channels such as newspapers are declining, while the internet is taking over with 44.2% of the total ad expenditure in 2020, according to Statista. Social channels account for more than half of the total digital ad spend, surpassing global benchmarks. The region is also moving towards a “mobile-first” strategy, with a majority of internet traffic generated through mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.

Performance Marketing in the MENA

Performance-based campaigns are gaining traction in the MENA region, with 59% of advertising agencies significantly shifting into performance-based campaigns, according to a survey conducted by the Interactive Agency Bureau (IAB). Brands are demanding payment by results (ROI & Return on ad spend ROAS) as well as enhanced consumer insights and analytics.

Digital Advertising Agencies in the MENA

The MENA region has over 500 advertising agencies that have a large number of employees, with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE fuelling the region with small and medium-sized agencies. The UAE is home to big advertising firms, while Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan represent the majority of digital marketing talents and creative resources. However, the highly qualified talents in digital advertising and performance are always moving outside the region to join companies in the European market.

Programmatic Advertising in the MENA

The slow transition from traditional to digital media is one of the key reasons programmatic advertising is struggling to dominate the region. Collectively, the MENA trails other regions in innovation and adoption of ad tech and marketing technologies. The top ad networks in the MENA region include Facebook, Google Ads, IronSource, Applovin, Adcolony, AdFalcon, InTarget, AdZouk, and Ambush. The United Arab Emirates is leading the growth in programmatic advertising due to technology partners and pressure from clients and brands to automate the process and use AI.

Digital Advertising by Sector

According to Ipsos research, the top ten sectors in the region are dominated by beauty care, food, telecommunications, and entertainment. Telecommunications companies, followed by real estate and banking, are the top categories.

Digital Advertising in SEA

Digital Advertising in SEA

SEA is a rapidly growing digital advertising market, driven by a young and tech-savvy population. According to a report by eMarketer, digital ad spending in SEA is expected to reach 15.3 billion U.S dollars in 2021, with Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam leading the growth.

The Market Size

The digital advertising market in SEA is expected to grow at a rate of 13.7% in 2021, with a projected market size of 22.45 billion U.S dollars by 2025. The region’s e-commerce market is also booming, with a projected market size of 153 billion U.S dollars by 2025.

Media Channels in SEA

SEA is also witnessing a major shift toward digital advertising, with traditional channels such as newspapers and TV declining. Social channels are the most popular, accounting for 63% of total digital ad spend, according to a report by Hootsuite. Mobile advertising is also on the rise, with a majority of internet traffic generated through mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.

Performance Marketing in SEA

Performance-based campaigns are becoming popular in SEA, with advertisers demanding more accountability and transparency. Brands are looking for more measurement and optimisation to ensure their campaigns are reaching the right audience and delivering the desired results.

Digital Advertising Agencies in SEA

SEA has a large number of digital advertising agencies, with many emerging startups and creative agencies. The region is home to a highly skilled workforce, with many professionals trained in digital marketing and advertising.

Programmatic Advertising in SEA

Programmatic advertising is becoming more popular in SEA, with many brands and agencies adopting the technology to automate their advertising campaigns. The region is also seeing an increase in the use of AI-powered tools and platforms to help advertisers optimise their campaigns.

Digital Advertising by Sector

The digital advertising market in SEA is dominated by the retail and e-commerce sector, followed by the travel and hospitality sector. The region is also seeing growth in the financial services, healthcare, and automotive sectors.

AI Copywriter Tools in Advertising

AI copywriter tools are becoming increasingly popular in the MENA and SEA regions, with many brands and agencies adopting the technology to enhance their digital advertising campaigns. These tools use natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning algorithms to generate high-quality, engaging content that resonates with the target audience.

AI copywriter tools can help brands and agencies save time and money by automating the content creation process. They can generate a large volume of content quickly and efficiently, allowing advertisers to test multiple variations of their ads and optimise their campaigns for better performance.

Conclusion

The MENA and SEA regions are witnessing tremendous growth in digital advertising and digital adoption, driven by a young and tech-savvy population, increasing smartphone penetration, and the rise of social media platforms. AI copywriter tools are becoming increasingly popular in these regions, providing brands and agencies with a cost-effective and efficient way to enhance their digital advertising campaigns. The future of digital advertising in these regions looks bright, with continued growth and innovation in the years to come whilst broadcast and traditional advertising feels the pinch. The time has come for the more conservative amongst us to take the plunge and fully embrace digital and all it entails.

How Artificial Intelligence is Revolutionizing Video Editing

In a world where technology continues to push the boundaries of what’s creatively possible, one industry stands poised for a revolutionary transformation: video editing.

Enter the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI), where algorithms and machine learning are set to revolutionize the way we edit and create captivating videos. From automated tasks to intelligent scene analysis, AI brings a wave of innovation and many shiny new features to video editing. Luckily, most will be integrated into platforms we are already familiar with instead of looming on the horizon like some scary monsters.

Nevertheless, grab your popcorn, and let’s explore how AI is reshaping the future of the creative realm.

1. Automated Tasks:

Say goodbye to tedious and time-consuming tasks that bog down the editing process. AI-powered tools can now handle tasks like video stabilization, color correction, and audio enhancement automatically. With just a few clicks, AI algorithms analyze and optimize video footage, saving editors precious time and allowing them to focus on the creative aspects of their craft. It’s like having a dedicated assistant who handles the nitty-gritty details. Will this spell the end of specialist jobs like color grading? I doubt it. But it will surely speed up the process.

2. Intelligent Scene Analysis:

AI algorithms can analyze video footage to identify specific objects, people, or scenes, enabling editors to search and find the exact moments they need quickly. Imagine being able to search for specific locations, things, or even emotions within a vast library of footage. AI-powered scene analysis makes it possible, revolutionizing how editors navigate and find the perfect shots for their projects.

3. Advanced Transitions and Effects:

AI is pushing the boundaries of visual effects and transitions, taking them to a new level. With machine learning, AI algorithms can study and learn from vast databases of visual effects, enabling them to generate unique and innovative transitions automatically. From seamless scene changes to breathtaking visual effects, AI empowers editors with a toolbox of creative possibilities that were once unimaginable. We can’t wait.

4. Personalised Editing Assistance:

AI algorithms can learn an editor’s preferences and style by analyzing past work. Armed with this knowledge, AI tools can suggest edits, recommend suitable transitions, or even predict the pacing and timing of a video based on the editor’s previous projects. This personalized assistance not only saves time but also enhances the creative collaboration between AI and human editors, opening new avenues for exploration and experimentation.

5. Real-time Feedback and Analysis:

Gone are the days of waiting for rendering and exporting to see the result. AI-powered video editing tools can provide real-time feedback and analysis, allowing editors to make instant adjustments and see the impact immediately. This iterative process speeds up the editing workflow and enables editors to experiment and refine their vision.

6. Seamless Collaboration:

AI-powered editing tools streamline collaboration among teams. With cloud-based platforms and AI-driven workflows, multiple editors can work simultaneously on a project, making edits, leaving comments, and even merging their changes effortlessly. This level of collaboration and synchronization enhances productivity and encourages creative synergy among team members.

7. Hyper-personalised Content:

AI algorithms can analyze viewer preferences, engagement patterns, and demographic data to generate hyper-personalized video content. By tailoring videos to individual viewers, AI enables content creators to deliver highly targeted and engaging experiences. This level of personalization enhances viewer satisfaction and increases the impact of video content in various industries, including marketing, entertainment, and education.

As AI continues to evolve and push the boundaries of what’s possible, the world of video editing is transforming. With automated tasks, intelligent analysis, advanced effects, personalized assistance, real-time feedback, seamless collaboration, and hyper-personalized content, AI is revolutionizing how we edit and create videos. So, grab your camera, embrace the power of AI, and get ready to create captivating stories that push the limits of imagination and creativity.
