The Social Network

I've just watched this film on the cinema and came out with two conclusions (tell me yours):

• The film is awesome!
• Its story is bullshit!

Thus, this entire post is referring to Facebook. Before today, I was just an ordinary user of Facebook and I have to say it is a good website for those who want to use it. The point of sharing personal information to everybody and for free has always been the dream of all publicity companies. It is straight forward to come out with this. Companies are wondering what their consumers want to buy or what are they changing tastes about. And yes, here comes Facebook putting in their hands all what they need. That is one point of view.

Another one, is what Facebook was meant to be, who made it and what are we encouraging by using it. If half the information contained on "the social network" is true (probably much more than that is), I don't feel exciting about encouraging the success of an stolen idea. Besides, the Facebook "implementator" - I will call him like that - has never had the profile of a Facebook user (who normally have friends). So, he would never want to create something he would not be good at using, unless there was an extraordinary reason. This man had an awful college social life and he would made everything to get out of it (is it an extraordinary reason to you?), even steal an idea to become millionaire and betray his only friend. I don't think it's something good to encourage.

After all, how was life before the Facebook and other social networks? Was it better or worse than now? Were we able to live without social networks on the internet? What difference does it make if someone does not have it? That's what I'm about to discover.
