Have you heard fairy tales from your grandparents about the gargantuan monsters in Greek Mythology or the ferocious genies from the Aesop Fables? How they were always hungry for more human flesh? How they allured them with fantasies? Well Facebook is the modern giant, drawing you deeper into the social networking frenzy, which you so hate but can’t help being a regular part of. I am not wrong, the numbers say it all, 500 Million users as of today and the social network is still hungry.
That’s half a billion people, almost a third of the entire Web population of 1.7 billion is hooked to it for one reason or the other. There are claims that if the social network were to become a country, it would be third only to China and India, each of which have over a billion people each. But I am glad it isn’t a country, especially given how monopolistic it is when it comes to governance. But putting the controversies aside, the last one year has been phenomenal for the Mark Zuckerberg and his Harvard project, if he dropped out then, it is all the more justified with Facebook’s success.
In celebration of reaching the milestone, Mark Zuckerberg thought it will be clever and important to praise the people who make up the social network by launching a new app by the name of Facebook Stories. Users will be able to share their own Facebook story here and read those from fellow Facebookers. Which is my opinion is quite an impressive move, I mean I am interested to learn why many of my friends joined the social network [of course many would say because someone else joined and they followed the bandwagon].
Still if you happen to have a great Facebook story in form of a message, a voice narration or a video do share them with us and we will upload them on our blog,who knows yours might just get a chance to become a script for the sequel to follow The Social Network; the Facebook movie.
