  5. StrengthsIntegration with websites and applications. To enrich user experience and engage more users to use Facebook, the social network has launched many features that would allow closer integration with other websites and producers of applications that run via Facebook. Easy integration and use of applications results in competitive advantage over other social networking websites that struggle to provide the same level of service.More than a billion active monthly users. For a social network to grow, it must have users. The more users the Facebook has, the more socially connecting it is. With one billion active monthly users, Facebook is able to connect people not only locally but globally as well.Excellent user experience. Facebook has an easy to use interface, is integrated with many website, can connect people through PC or mobile devices, is translated into more than 70 languages and has many more additional features that lack other social networks.Understanding of user’s needs and behavior. Except Google, no other business has so many data collected on what users like, dislike, needs and how the users behave online. With so much data, Facebook knows what exactly to offer to its users (what additional features, what advertisements) and how to further improve their experience with Facebook. WeaknessesWeak CTR of advertisements. Facebook has a lower click-through-rate (CTR) than an average website, which is only 0.05% and about 4% respectively. In order to earn more income from the advertisements Facebook has to change the way it displays the ads (advertisements on wall posts have more than 6% CTR) but without interfering users’ experience.Social network lacks of some features. Although Facebook has a wide range of features that other social networks don’t, the website still lacks: video chats, group chats, dislike buttons, ability to unsubscribe from alerts and many others.One source of revenues – advertisements on Facebook. More than 80% of Facebook’s revenues come from advertising on its social network. The growth of the revenues directly depends on the growth of users. This leaves the business very vulnerable and dependent on continuous growth of users, which will eventually be only marginal as the social network has already attracted so many users.Attitude towards users’ privacy. Facebook collects private users’ information and then stores it, uses it for its own purposes or sells it. Such treatment of users’ private information draws negative attention that decreases popularity of Facebook.Lack of website customization. Many Facebook’s users spend a lot of time on social network and want the website to reflect their personalities but are unable to customize the website to their needs and are forced to use uniform template for all users. In comparison, Google+ allows for much more personalization of the social network account than Facebook does.Weak protection of users’ information. Facebook, having so many users that upload personal information to the social network, is a target for attacks that steal passwords and other personal information from the users. Such attacks occur every day and thousands of passwords are stolen. Though, Facebook is not doing enough to protect users’ from identity attacks. OpportunitiesIncreasing number of people using Facebook through mobile devices. Currently Facebook has more than 600 million users who use Facebook through mobile devices. Despite that this group makes 60% of all Facebook users, the mobile advertising only accounts for only 14% income for the company. Facebook has an opportunity to create a platform that could be used to display ads for mobile users and increase firm’s income.Expansion to China. Easing government regulations and newly elected government may open a way for Facebook to enter China’s social networking market. Until then, Facebook should prepare itself for such an entry.Diversify sources of revenue. Facebook heavily relies on advertising on its social network as a source of income, but with being the number 2 website in the world and more than 1 billion active monthly users, Facebook could exploit other opportunities to attract the money.Open Facebook marketplace. With so many users and extensive coverage of the world, Facebook is well positioned to open Facebook marketplace. If successful, it would bring more revenues than the advertising, thus boosting company’s growth and future prospects. ThreatsIncreasing number of mobile internet users. Currently Facebook has more than 600 million users who use Facebook through mobile devices. Despite that this group makes 60% of all Facebook users, the mobile advertising only accounts for only 14% income for the business. If the company will be unable to monetize mobile users, it will face decreasing advertising income as more PC users will turn to mobile users.Users using ad-block extensions. Educated internet users often install extensions that block advertisements from the websites. The growing number of such users is threatening Facebook’s model as they can’t see advertisements and click on them.Slow growth rate of online advertising. Although online advertising still grows in double digits (14% in 2012, down from 23% in 2011) that growth is slowing down, thereby threatening growth of Facebook’s advertising income.Identity thefts. Even today, identity thefts are common on Facebook. The more identities are stolen the more criticism Facebook will receive strongly damaging its brand for inability to protect users’ private information.Weak business model. Facebook’s aim is to attract social network users, display the ads for them and charge the businesses for the ads displayed. Although Facebook’s business model looks sound for the moment, the company may face severe difficulties if some conditions change that are not in firm’s control. For example, slowing growth of online advertising, new social network, shift from advertising on Facebook to other websites, growing number of mobile users (Facebook is yet unable to monetize them) or failure to diversify source of income.
