Facebook has decided on its next move, and that it taking its company to the North Pole. The social networking site decided to build a server farm 60 miles south of the Arctic Circle in Lulea, Sweden. Despite the cold temperatures, the location holds a population of 45,000 people and it will be the first server farm outside the U.S. The reason for choosing this location is because Facebook's computers that store billions of photos and updates need to be kept cool. The new server site will allow for faster service to European users.
My View:
I think Facebook's move will attract more users due to faster and better service. People are always complaining on how slow and inefficient some sites' services are. So now Facebook will now be able to provide people with faster access to their accounts, especially people in Europe. Perhaps Facebook is trying to appeal to its European users and gain a good reputation for its site there.
