It seems Facebook is more of an American thing but I still found myself to create a high school profile. Facebook seems to be a My Space for more mature people. The site also includes a fairly nice design and does not allow any of the annoying this that My Space does like flashing banner ads, flash videos, or auto-playing music.
A writer by the name of Karel Baloun has just wrote a book about Facebook. Karel was one of the first engineers of Facebook and reveals everything in this tell all book. For the next few hours there is a free version from here.
As an early engineer, I reveal
the inside of Facebook’s
explosive growth as it became
the premiere online environment
for US college students.
Including, how and by whom
products were made, how you
can use them best, views on
what makes social networks
valuable, and where this
industry trends are headed.
You too can achieve startup
success, and attain any dream;
I will lead and inspire you
towards your greatest potential. -K M Baloun
