Facebook Creator.

[Jeremy]

I was watching 60 minutes tonight and they had the creator of Facebook on there. It hurt me to find out he was 23. ARGGG. He created it four years ago in a Harvard dorm room. He later dropped out of college all together. The offices were about of young people who can come in late and even party there. They are the ones writing code for all those programs that come with Facebook.

Yahoo offered to buy Facebook for one billion dollars in 2006! He declined. Then Microsoft bought 1.6% of the company for $240 million. He says they really don't make any money but they are trying to find ways to make money by using ads. Alot of people are mad at the beacon filter also. I don't use Facebook and I never have. Facebook is suppose to go public this year also. It really intrigues me when young people create this type of stuff dealing with computers. Sorry if my recap not a good recap. lol.


Do ya'll like Facebook?
Is it getting too commercial?

I thought he said facebook would NOT be public this year.

 

[S O F I]

Mark Zuckerberg or something. I do think it's getting a bit commercial but I can manage, I guess. The day people are able to change up the outlook and the color schemes is the day that I'll probably start hating it.

I thought he said facebook would NOT be public this year.

“I think…what I can announce is that it is highly unlikely that we will go public in 2008 and when going public makes sense to do, we’ll do that.”

I stand corrected.

i was watching the cowgirls get raped so i missed it... i think.... but i didnt care... he looked like a fag.. he had yellow teeth and that was just in the ad for it .....

i like facebook... i never did the whole myspace thing but once i found out i had friends facebook wasnt that bad... but really, i did facebook for college since i was leaving friends behind.... but now i dont even talk to them... so i just log onto facebook to look at pics of the cuties from high school... oh how fast they grow slutty...

I prefer Facebook. It's for a more mature crowd. Users aren't allowed to edit their pages in ridiculous HTML code. It has a more professional feel to it. Users aren't using retarded ass aliases. It's simply full legal names. It does not have spam like MySpace. Plus, everything MySpace does now is catchup with Facebook. They stole the tagging ideas. Along with the news feed.

 

[ChrisZimbo]

Yeah its a bit commercial. I mean, i land up spending a couple of minutes surfing through bullshit on people's pages e.g useless applications like a funwall, superwall...wtf, just so i can send em a quick message. Quite tedious at times.

 

[masta247]

I don't use facebook because there are less people using it.

It's more professional, but I fucking hate 99% of the apps.

 

[S O F I]

It's more professional, but I fucking hate 99% of the apps.

Me too. I secretly dislike people that add them.

 

[Khalistani Soldier]

Facebook definitely has it's pros and cons. I've re-connected with alot of people I havn't talked to in a while. However, those apps are quite the fucking annoyance. Otherwise, facebook isn't that bad. But those facebook fiends, really need to get a grip.

 

[Cooper]

Me too. I secretly dislike people that add them.

It's no secret with me. I fucking hate them ESPECIALLY if they invite me...why the fuck would I want to be an e-zombie?

 

[Prize Gotti]

I call for a ban on those shit applications on social networking sites.

 

[Eric]

LMAO @ Cooper. I totally agree with both of your comments.

The apps are completely annoying. They are for anti-socialites who find some sort of happiness through the expression of their facebook profiles. And for the select few that aren't anti-socialites...it just brings your IQ down so many levels. Although, I must admit I do have the Courses application (the one that networks and displays the classes you're in) because it used to be part of your standard Facebook profile and then they got rid of it! WTF!

And the invites...christ...don't get me started. That's just as bad as bulletins on MySpace.

 

[dillaxx]

some apps arent that bad... admittedly i have alot, but i dont use them after i accept them thinking i will... i got the youtubes video one... that's def. a must have.... then i got the last.fm one that shows a chart of what you've listened to recently...

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

The applications are homo. Its cool to find people obviously and better than myspace but its not that interesting.

 

[Cooper]

I had 184 invites at when i last checked
