Are we really expected to have faith in a company that has form in changing who can see private information about its users without their prior permission? You may not remember app-gate. This inglorious episode was when The Wall Street Journal discovered back in 2010 that third party services on the social network, such as popular game Farmville, could gain access to Facebook users' private data and in turn made this available to advertising companies. The social network's security record certainly leaves a lot to be desired ahead of any move into the corporate space. And so we come to the issue of why Facebook wants a piece of the professional pie. In a nutshell: it's fear. The social networking giant may have 1.35 billion monthly users but its growth has slowed. Mr Zuckerberg is on an admirable mission to make sure Facebook keeps innovating so it doesn't suffer the same fate as MySpace and all those other big tech names that have withered and basically died.
