An interesting take on the scope of Facebook. It's users make it one of the largest 'groups' in the world. It will soon be one of the most valuable companies in the world. Yet it has achieved all this with very few employees.
Facebook has approximately one-tenth the employees of Google. Compare that with their valuation, which is more than half as large, and their monthly user base, which is also more than half as large. And Google, of course, only has one-fiftieth the employees of McDonald’s.
