Facebook plans to buy about 15 companies next year.

Yes, the world's largest social network is not going to deviate from Google, which buys promising services and companies. Facebook, according to management, plans to buy about 15 companies that will complement the main business of Facebook. Companies that are planning to buy should really complement Facebook by adding various functional elements. Plus, the company hopes to replenish the staff of developers who can also continue to work on improving the social network.



According to Facebook’s corporate development head, Michael Brown, companies that work toward so-called “social commerce” will be bought. It should be noted that now the number of Facebook users is not 500 million, but 650 million people. As you can see, not so much time can pass when the number of users in Facebook reaches a billion.



In addition, the corporation plans to earn $ 2 billion in revenue. Financial achievements of the company over the past year have not been officially announced, but some quite authoritative sources result in 700-800 million dollars. Growth is very good, one can not disagree. At the same time, at the beginning of the year, the Facebook leadership announced a “bar” of half a billion dollars.
