But this also triggered a couple of questions in my mind: 1. This brings us to a new question- Will we eventually see a quicker fall of facebook and that there will be rise of a new social network-that focuses on quality of engagement and relationships rather than quantity of friends?

My question to CEOs- why are you making it complex and difficult? Can you create a fun element in your organisation- I don’t know why people are afraid of having fun or creating opportunities for fun. CEOs need to create an environment where employees enjoy their work and their workplace. Have fun and create fun.
