I guess Facebook isn't going to implode anytime soon. Indeed, I suppose LiveJournal will be a memory long before Facebook begins its fade-away from history. It even has its own movie that is coming out, "The Social Network". David Kirkpatrick writes an article trumpeting this e-power. This is one of the more interesting factoids he coughs up:
In country after country, it has become so central to social life that if you are not on it -- regardless of your age -- you are probably not in very close contact with your friends. In my own research, for example, I have found that Facebook messaging is beginning to replace e-mail among the Italian educated elite and among businesspeople in Colombia.And I'm still out of the loop. Even Father has an account! When I make a few friends, I'll probably join, too. I just never seem to get along with the other kids.
