Is Facebook cool enough for you yet, Zuckerberg?
It seems that Facebook is attempting to stay relevant by changing their format every couple of months now. While most people struggle to navigate the new features, and decide if they like them or not, others embrace change and find new creative outlets. This artist has inspired others to hack the page in a way that most people would not think of.
What do you think of the newest iteration of Facebook?
Apologies in advance for a lazy copy-and-paste ripoff of something I found on Engadget. I just thought it was too cool not to share…
If you’ve ever wondered what a map drawn entirely of Facebook relationships would look like, wonder no more. A Facebook intern by the name of Paul Butler has put together the above image by feeding in location data for pairs of friends, with the white lights representing cities, towns, and hamlets, and the blue streaks between them identifying relationships linking them. It’s fun to see large swathes of Australia and South America devoid of Facebook activity, but check out the bit on the map where Russia and China are supposed to be — is Facebook the most capitalist social network ever or what? Hit the source link for the full-scale image, it gets prettier the closer you get to it.
How you’re really going to spend your Thanksgiving day.
Cooking - Yep, prepare to put an inordinate amount of time into prepping, cooking, and coordinating your family’s feast because…
Eating - … it’s all going to be over in about 20 minutes.
Watching Football - Now that you’re done eating you can mosey on into the living room and turn on some football so you don’t have to talk to any of your extended family, but beware…
Napping - … you’re about to fall asleep.
Texting - Okay, awake from that nap. Find out how your friends are passing their time. ”what r u doin?”
Checking Facebook - Of course, they’re on Facebook. Tending their farm, posting pictures of their overcooked bird, and ‘liking’ everything inbetween. Hmm, time to refresh again.
Having Sex - Yeah, don’t count on it. Nothing says intimacy like poultry flatulence and an elastic waistband.
What will you be doing?
We’ve commented before that Facebook appears to have difficulty in figuring out how to monetize their huge repository of our personal data.
Their latest attempt?
Facebook wants to be the next Yowza! I wonder if Greg Grunberg knows about this…
