For Me the day doesn't change until I go to bed, so I really hope you count this as a friday post Mr. Hill. Well, anyways onto the reading. Facebook is officially established, and it is in full effect. In this reading, Eduardo decides to hop aboard the Facebook train. On his way back from a party he runs into Mark, he hadn't slept in days, and he had finally created the facebook. He and Mark both knew that the main thing this website would be driven by was sex, it's all anyone at harvard cared about. Infact, the first thing that popped up on a new user whilst making a facebook was their relationship status. Facebook was created to be used only by Harvard students, and their Harvard ID's would be used as log-ins to make sure that ONLY harvard students would be using it. Mark and Eduardo then proceeded to send invitations to people in the Phoenix, inviting them to use the facebook. Then it was done. The website was out there, in pen. Alive, never to be erased.
This website was really interesting and essential! I really find myself delving into this book the more I read. One really interesting thing I found was the use of the poke button. I always wandered what it meant but apparently you poke someone to let them know you were looking at their profile. It might have been something nice when a few people had facebooks but poking random people now is called facebook stalking. Hey, you learn something new everyday.
