Mr Facebook and how much he's worth

Mark Elliot Zuckerberg launched Facebook from his Harvard dorm room back in 2004. It was originally used between Harvard students, then spread between uni students. Now the whole world has it!

Facebook is now worth $11.5 billion dollars compared to

Twitter which is worth $1.4 billion,

LinkedIn worth $1.3 billion and

Linden Labs second Life worth $383 million

Seems like its time to create a social network right?

useless

I was just recently having a look at twitter and it didn't take me long to notice just how useless it is! Seriously, as if people these days have nothing better to do than to read and write posts such as "having a cup of coffee". Was it important that people know this useful information about you? Do people have nothing better to do these days, for example, work, rather thanwatch this sort of stuff.

Obviously im not the only one who feels this way because there is just so many people out there who are watching celebrities and all the rest of it. But don't people have their own lives to worry about? Why are they so concerned with what famous people, who they most likely dont even know they exist, and what they are doing every minute of the day? But thats another issue for another day.

My main reason for posting this is to try and get people to wake up to themselves. Of coarse social networking sites are great, and recommend most. But has twitter just taken the whole social networking thing too far? I'm all for catching up with old mates and keeping in contact with friends and family. But twitter is much more self orientated. I'm doing/saying/thinking this and that every 2 minutes of their life!

That's just my two cents worth....agree or disagree, we all know that twitter will never REALLY catch on.

Kate's Party

Not sure if people have heard of this but a few days a go a lady named kate created an event on facebook. What started out as a simple party ended up as joke gone slightly wrong. Ok a bit of background on the story.. Kate invited a few friends to her apartment for a party. Kate however made the mistake of making the event open allowing people to invite who ever they wanted. Kates friends thought it would be funny to invite everyone they knew and then for those invited to invite everyone they knew etc etc. It soon turned from a few close friends to over 100 000 people invited to her small apartment in a South Australia. The party was of coursed canceled to avoid any sort of issues/problems.

However this demonstrates how easy a simple event can go very wrong if posted on the internet.. this has reminants of the whole Corey Worthington debarkle where he posted an invite on another social networking site myspace. He however intended to have a large group of people to come and well cause havoc which is indeed what happened.

There is also the whole issue of how easy things can go wrong if people put the wrong thing up on the internet or if others make a decision with the intent to use the information found to cause problems
