The Facebook Phenomenon

[monkey1506]

Theres alot more than people just spying on friends, massive companies pay millions of currency to track trends and learn how to market to people. You might as well just go on TV

[TookYerJob1]

the honeycombing of the human mind continues

[dirtyhandsss]

Oh wow they seem to blame Cyber Bullying mostly on facebook? No. Myspace, MSN, AOL, Yahoo, Forums, etc. People are so dumb. It's the persons fault if they give to much information. Not facebooks.

If you don't want to get 'stalked' dont give your address, phone, blah blah blah, that is YOUR problem with facebook. For god sake, seriously? GROW UP!

[Dojigomiru]

[spirits456]

[psurgay]

[cookiesncream789]

Omg...thats so true! All of my elementary school friends who I haven't seen in over 10 years added me and you become SUCH a stalker! LOL! Always reading people's mini-feeds, and such.

If talk about money or anything negative, bad or offensive happens on facebook, then you guys should report or delete that person who is doing negative offensive bad stuff. If your account happens to get disabled for the 1rst or 2nd time, then just write a email message to Facebook costumer Support and they will fix your problem, if your account is disable again for the third time, facebook costumer support won't be able to enable your account again.

[ArsonHQ]

Facebook should not disable accounts by other people,Facebook addicts should just delete and remove bad offensive people from their friends list or just ignore the bad stuff they hear or see on facebook, kind of like offensive email messages and spammers.

[NeverMindshow]

i like her accent :)

[teddyhankey]

the cia would av fucked him up

he had to say no

[sydislam]

Did he give a reason why he said no to a billion dollars?

[Jaymak84]

Duh, he did the maths, and descided, I can make much more money by not selling on the short term at the rate of users are signing up and add companies are posting their adds, and the price they pay for personal info to help their statistics, WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD SELL A GOLDMINE FOR A BILLION DOLLARS??

[EsochTheGuardian]

Microsoft makes it's move

"Microsoft Seeks Stake In Facebook"

'Microsoft Corp. has approached Facebook Inc. in recent weeks proposing an investment that would give Microsoft a stake of up to 5 percent in the popular social-networking company, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday'

[EsochTheGuardian]

He defined Facebook in a nutshell "It allows your friends to spy on you".

He didn't mention that 3rd parties can also spy on you, by paying Facebook for the list. Your Facebook profile can and will be used by marketers, employers, credit agencies, collection agencies, private investigations, bounty hunters, and government.

With every good service, we all must be diligent that it is not misused.

[Ruellian]

funny that you said that i just saw a report on tv where a girl from england got fooled by criminals and the ripped her off and took 5.000 pounds from her bank account, thats how it goes when you put all your info online!

[nir81vana]

ahahahaha i like how they're talking about facebook while on the bottom there like "people died in iraq"

[mooneepondskid]

What I find funny about Facebook is that they claim its great to keep in touch with your "friends". If these people were really your friends you wouldnt need a damn website to keep in touch with them.

[newkrauser235]

@mooneepondskid well dumbfuck most people move when they get older

[jmatt1984]

You turn down a billion dollars at the age of 22, then your fucking retarted.

[EsochTheGuardian]

Goes to show just how valuable the information and millions of profiles on Facebook are.

[thrummer1953]

Imat1984.I'm in need of clarification.Retarted? Does that mean you've been had by more than one tart?

[enjoyitbro]

He turned down a billion dollars??!!! Whoa why

[openflows]

He thinks he can hold out for much more. :P

[vscondor93]

@openflows haha and he was damn right!!

[Xtuben00bX]

The same 'snow ball effect' that has propelled Facebook might also destroy it. For instance, 'Facebook Mass Exodus 3.0' is a Facebook group with members devoted to the cause of deactivating their Facebook accounts.

[marrrthew]

did ne1 else notice that the news scrolling on the bottom was about disasters and ppl dying, and war and etc....and they're talkin bout facebook? just thought id point that out

[lionofjudah42]

AMEN!

[Michellevic]

Yeah, it amazes me how news reporters can focus on this kind of thing.

[skipperwhale]

yikes

[zaceron]

oh god, noooooo, in other words nsa, cia and other such stuff can monitor almost any thing about you, so be carefull not to mention terrosism bombs or the plane chras in new york^^

[HaRDinkPR]

I'm going to blog on this next month. Great piece.

[purefunguy]
