it's a sad 'evolution' from what it was / what it originally was intended for..facebox is a joke
I doubt that. I suspect that it is exactly what it was always intended to eventually become, with the possible difference that it is more successful than anticipated. The plan always was, I suspect, to first rope people in and then sell them.it's a sad 'evolution' from what it was / what it originally was intended for.
No, that's what it evolved into later.From what I've read and heard, Facebook was conceived and created by marketers and advertisers for the express purpose of collecting information for marketing and advertising.
From what I've read and heard, Facebook was conceived and created by marketers and advertisers for the express purpose of collecting information for marketing and advertising. It was wildly successful and insiders (so I've read) were shocked at how easily people gave up personal information that it used to take years of focus studies to collect. This is apparently how they make the bulk of their money. Facebook is a marketing platform disguised as a "community."
Hmm, maybe you missed the various lawsuits by the co-founders who sued Zuckerberg? It was founded by college kids, not 'marketers and advertisers'. It's creation is very well documented. The lawsuits aren't a myth and they recount the creation, which pretty much mirrors what is found on Wikipedia and other sites.That might be, I wasn't there so I don't really know for sure, but I have read/heard elsewhere that the public Facebook founding story, as found on Wikipedia, is a myth. But I don't really know. In any case, it's true that it is now an advertising platform.
It was created so a bunch of horn dog ivy league college boys could rate girls.it's a sad 'evolution' from what it was / what it originally was intended for..
