I know I am sometimes a little behind in these days and times, but I have been on the internet since modems made noises and Spybot searched for a whopping 8000 viruses. I do have have a facebook account that I check every couple days and I still have a myspace account somewhere, but I haven't visited it in months. I have yet to get a twitter account, but I am happy to report that I have seen the movie "The Social Network".
It is a very cool depiction of the birth of facebook, the strained relations between it's founders and the astounding rapid growth of the online social network site. I enjoyed the movies references to key things that play with the emotions of the users, like the relationship status, wall posts and photo comments. The movie was great as it reminded me of how incredible it is for so many people to have so much info about them floating around on the internet.
With the recent announcement of an upcoming facebook ipo, investors are debating the valuation of this dominant online company, with numbers ranging from $25 to $50 billion! Wow. Crazy! I think I'm going to start saving for that ipo and log on to facebook right now!
