Facebook is less like a nightclub and more like Wal Mart
Facebook is less like the hot new dance club and more like Wal Mart. Its huge and you can find just about anything you’d need there. But if you’re into fashion, you aren’t going to buy clothes at Wal Mart. If you’re into cycling, you’re not going to buy your bikes there either. Both Wal Mart and Facebook are great businesses, but neither are suited for all people all the time.
I’ll say this the next time one of my professors says, “Did you know Facebook would be the biggest country ever if it was a real country? You young’ns, the Facebook generation, know everything about everyone, ect…”
Haha good call. Interesting in light of the semester-long Facebook/social privacy research project I’m embarking upon in 300. Expect me to solicit your feedback, friends, when we have the survey ready to go.
