Influence of the emerging companies

It is remarkable that there are so many new emerging companies in this industry. Even within this decade, companies like Facebook, Skype and Twitter appeared and have acquired huge popularity among people all over the world. One of the big advantages for companies in this industry is that once they are accepted in a country, soon they become popular in other countries as well, and become worldwide phenomenal. Another advantage is that once a company becomes big, it is very hard for a similar company to catch up. For instance, when Google became big there were no suitable rivals in their way. Another example is Skype. Skype as it is also their name of software is very unique in that it allows free call to other Skype users. These unique companies have certainly influenced the world not just by economically and socially but also politically. In Tunisia, Facebook was used to organize antigovernment groups and to communicate with other members. In addition to that in Egypt, Twitter had been used as a tool to organize anti-governmental activity till the government sabotaged the use of twitter. What it shows is that this industry is full of opportunity especially in the field of communication. IT made it possible to communicate with people with a long distance. Now, Facebook has become one of the biggest companies in the world and worth more than 500 million dollar (Nikkei shinbun). There are still more companies to emerge or waiting for the time to be discovered.
