Mark Zuckerberg the founder of fast growing social networking site, Facebook needs to have his name in the English dictionary. Better still, it should replace the world 'fantastic'. I bet you will agree with gistmaster if you measure the level of successes recorded by the IT billionaire within the last few years of starting his addictive site- facebook
Mark who is estimated by Forbes world richest billionaire list to be worth 4 Billion Dollars is already working his way into new areas and by the time he is done, Mark says he would have successfully captured 1 Billion users of Facebook globally.At the moment, the site is estimated to have about 500 million users.To achieve this, gistmaster gathered that he must be also be a dominant player in Russia and the far East such as South Korea, Japan and China.
Born about 26 years old, the young American businessman is regarded as one of the most influential media channels around the world. He is also a self made billionaire.At the moment,Facebook.com ranked second in the world as the most visited daily website around the world, with google.com coming first.

Deola Sagoe, a creative and widely acknowledged fashion icon would be doing us proud as the Africa Fashion Week kicks off on 30 June 2010 at Sandton Convention Centre,Johannesburg, South Africa.
