Re: Facebook
MARC, I FINALLY GOT BLOG@CASE.EDU TO WORK SO WE DON’T NEED TO CORRESPOND VIA E-MAIL.
I use Facebook a lot when it was first released, and was also caught up in the social network explosion. At first, it just seemed like a new way for shy students to flirt with one another and for people to keep in touch with one another. However, over the course of spring semester 2006, I would definitely note that more people were using for other networking purposes and not just for students to keep in touch anymore. For example, I worked as a “street team” representative for New Era Hat Company, and our manager required that all the reps utilize both MySpace and Facebook in order to advertise events as well as network with other individuals.
In terms of the actual sale of Facebook, I feel that this is like the handfuls of websites that are bought out for millions and in this case billions. I personally respect the makers who created their websites, and I feel that it simply comes down to whether or not to compromise one’s values. Personally, I would take the money because websites have become the new way to make quick money and new niche for entrepreneurs who take advantage of opportunities at the appropriate times.
