The subject of Facebook can be heard everyday, almost everywhere. "Everyone" has one. If you don't, you must not be socially "in" right? In the years since Facebook was conjured by Mark Zuckerberg, many new features have been added. It is no longer a college network, a way to keep in touch with your friends across the country, but rather, a social network, which now lets virtually anyone join. Since September 11th, 2006, anyone 13 and older can create a Facebook. It has become a social networking empire. My question is, can it be topped? I suppose most people would say it is the best, most fun way to stay in touch with friends and meet new people, but many sites have popped up in recent years, trying to become the new "Facebook". Myspace, a similar, but more open ended social network is still among the most popular networks. But many, lesser known websites are gaining more attraction lately. MyYearBook, a social network that was recently introduced already has 2 million+ users, and still attracts more. The website allows its members to create new features, a privilege normally reserved for the websites owners and management. This has contributed to MyYearBooks new success, as any member can create new fun features easily. How about Yuwie.com? Ever heard of it? Why not? They pay you to create a profile and use their site. The site follows a similar profile layout to Facebook, but pays its users to change their profile, and use the other features on their site. I have not researched what it is they pay you, though I can assume you wont make much, but why wouldn't people be signing up like crazy to get "free" money. Facebook has already established its dominance. It has taken control of its "market". Million's upon million's of people use Facebook. There are many jokes about it being addicting, and for some people, it is addicting. I know I check my profile every chance I get to my computer. In my opinion, Facebook will not be topped for a good time to come. As we enter an age of computers, it will only be a matter of time before elementary school kids are checking their Facebooks.
I agree there is nothing better than facebook and I think facebook and its competitors will soon become a new medium where people can use it for just about anything. I think it will turn into a place where you can get your news and almost anything else that you want to access on the web. I can see the day where you can get on facebook, look up a movie time, check the news ticker, and maybe even be able to watch your favorite shows online as well
