900 million users and a monster for popularity have been successful enough to bring immense financial success to the social networking giant. But, whether it will be able to sustain its prowess in the tech world is a question less asked.

1. Reduced Growth

In 2010 when Facebook was comparatively new and was in the phase of its greatest success the sales were soaring as high as 150%. In 2011, the sales were good enough at 90% but saw a disastrous drop in 2011 when the sales dropped almost half to 45% in the first quarter.
