Until recently, I’d never given much thought to how Facebook got its start.
Now the trailers for “The Social Network” are appearing on television and in theaters, and I am beginning to get a hint of what the founders had in mind when they created Facebook.
Sitting in their Harvard dorm rooms, they imagined this hip insiders’ guide to the Ivy League experience. So I have to wonder — what do they think of what Facebook has become?
People posting pictures of their evening meal. Their children’s first day of school. Extremely cute dogs and cats. And status updates ranging from the mundane to the ridiculous.
And let’s not forget all the business that is now being conducted on Facebook. (Did you know some people use it to promote their blogs and improv shows? Whackadoodle. :))
Facebook today is simply as boring or as exciting as we are, because Facebook has become a very detailed reflection of our day-to-day lives…of everybody’s lives.
Not so insider, huh?
Oh well, they pocketed billions. I’ll bet that kinda dough has even tempted them to ‘like’ a Sunday church service shout-out from time to time.
