How did something as inane and pointless as Facebook manage to take over the world?

[DR Tech]

The idea is maintaining your connections on a higher level. Email and Phone you have the number, but their is no way to checkup on them without having to email them or call them. The Appeal of facebook is your always connected without having to contact them directly.

The Idea is Information is power [Even though the Members of Facebook aren't really aware of that concept or more likely never heard of the Quote] I personally believe the meaning of life is to learn as much as possible before you die. You hunger for information [not necessarily knowledge which explains why girls love gossiping, and guys know insanely to much about various sports players]

So yes, Information Network, more then a social network.
Either way I am a fan of Google +
