What is it with these teens revolutionizing the world?

How is it they can make such a great thing available to the whole world?

Where do they get inspired?

How? how? how?

If only i was so lucky.

Facebook, the new way we connect and interact with people, from all around the world. Friendster, it's time to say goodbye.

It's amazing how this guy came about facebook. Read the link below to find out the whole story. I wish i was as clever, dedicated and creative as Mark Zuckerberg.

I've been a member of facebook for about 6 months now. I'm still very into the whole site. What makes it so great? really, it just gives me something to do online. Being able to add over thousands of applications and unlimited photo albums, really makes the site interactive. The applications are a great way to pass-time or annoy people with.

The amazing thing that i love about facebook is that, i get to stay connected with friends i haven't seen in over 5 yrs, find long lost childhood friends and maintain those newly made friendships. Furthermore, being able to find and meet new people online has never become easier. With the neat 'poke' feature, you can grab someone's attention and if they wish to 'poke' you back, you know that there's a chance for the both of you to be online friends.

My favorite applications are the iLIKE app and the Flixster app. Being able to display my favorite music artists to displaying my favorite movies, i'm able to share my interests with the rest of the community. These 2 apps also implement quizzes and surveys to make the application more interesting and more interactive.

The groups option in facebook is also a very neat and fun way to connect with people. Grouping with people that share the same interests as you has never become easier. There are thousands of groups that you can join and millions of people around the world to interact with. A great way to share thoughts and meet new people i would say.

Facebook is definitely the new way to stay connected. Friendster has shown an improvement to their site, but it still hasn't reached the level of facebook. By implementing chinese readily text, higher photo upload limits, groups and fan options its showing the world that they are still around and won't be easily defeated!

However, the great thing about friendster is that you can view more profiles without having a private setting, whereas, facebook limits a lot of profiles; making it harder to find friends or meet people. Friendster is still around for the asian community but it's reputation is slowly dying. I hope friendster finds a way to keep running. It will be sad to see everyone leave.

Don't forget MySpace.com. This site is still overpopulated by americans but it's still a great site to talk about. The great thing that MySpace.com has over facebook and friendster is the file sharing options. Being able to post MP3s and such online for everyone to share is a great option that may get someone in trouble, someday, with all the illegal download issues revolving around the world.

Facebook has revolutionized the way we stay connected. it's your choice to follow which online community site you wanna stick with. In my perspective, stick with what your comfortable with for now, but be ready to switch when the rest of the world does.
