(FILES) This February 25, 2013 file photo photo taken in Washington, DC, shows the splash page for the Internet social media giant Facebook. Facebook has muddled through its first year as a public company after a disastrous share offering, and still faces questions on whether it can grow into an Internet superstar, analysts say. The world's biggest social network, which now has more than 1.1 billion users worldwide, has managed to boost its earnings since the IPO, including from its mobile platform, important in countering its critics. The initial public offering (IPO) on May 18 2012 sparked a series of crises for Facebook, with the shares plunging from $38 to as low as $17.73 in September. AFP PHOTO / Karen BLEIER / FILES
