facebook olympics

facebook's a neat little thing. No doubt it will have competitors. It's not particularly new or nothing... when I heard of its rise to dominance in the online world, I couldn't understand its popularity, since everybody had myspace. But the popularity is due to the live-updating and shit that it allows and just stupid simple way for people to create a mini website. Free websites is nothing new. But to make one was never so stupid simple as this.

How long will it last? Will google take over with their own version. What is youtube but facebook for videos anyway?

Like I said, nothing new about facebook but the thing where you can get some kind of live update on new stuff is what's making it different otherwise the net has had facebook-like stuff since it started.

one thing I was thinking about was if they actually created an online arcade in facebook land. I'd be down for that shit.

Chess, monopoly, poker. Invite friends only, whatever ya wanna do. Then just play big and small games on it. It's like in GTAonline. When I can invite friends to play games like tennis or golf etc. It'd be interesting if they integrated gaming into facebook.

Hopefully Zuckerberg is listening. He intends to grant internet access to everyone around the globe and most likely create an infinite source of knowledge and learning through the web that will enrich the lives of those on this earth who still live in the stone ages. Noble and kinda far fetched. The web is just the web. It's what you make it. It's neither going to be the beacon of hope for humanity or its destruction. It's just going to be a tool, like any tool. Use it to build a house and make art, or break things down. Either way, it's on you.

We'll see. But it's just so cool to see what your childhood idols are up to and stuff. Though that Miley Cyrus chick needs to start thinking about the shit she's posting. You got like 10 year old fans and you're posting sexy shit. Kinda not a good way to go there...
