rise of facebook
aThe Rise of facebook
While reading how facebook caught on and became more popular, it is apparent to the reader how the perspective of the author is bias. The author complements Zukerburg numerous times, but rarely does so for the boys who collaborated with him. Some other things that would make a reader believe the author has a strong tie to Harvard. Some of these are the statement that High school is all about building a strong resume. This maybe true for a majority of students entering any number of collages, but Harvard is so hard to get excepted in to, one must have an out standing résumé. Another theme repeated multiple times in both the novel and film is the “Harvard connections” and “men of Harvard” In the world of the students image is everything and who you know is important. From my experience this not true of other schools, and I do not know anyone who attends a school that is so image conscious.. I also do not agree with the two degree concept. College campuses are so big that I do not believe everyone is connected by only person. This maybe true for the schools with in a school , like we have at Rutgers. Or maybe this just a mentality the author has from attending or studying Harvard.
Other things I noticed while reading “the facebook effect” is how building the webpage benefited the boys. Mark Zukerburg was not a people person. After Popularity of his creation spread, he had to become better at giving interviews and press conferences. A person can take a class on public speaking but this not a skill that can really be taught in classes. After much hard work and thinking Zukerburg was able to develop this skill because it would effect his business. Also, the facebook was something Zukerburg was passionate about. When promoting something that matters, a person is more likely to be a better speaker than, if they were giving a topic selected at random. The roommates of Zukerburg also benefited from the creation of facebook. None of these boys went to school for business, but or computer programming. After being handpicked by Zukerburg, they each quickly learned their given job.

Lonching of facebook
Launching of facebook
The facebook was launched on February Forth 2004. The first 3 Accounts were test accounts. The next few were accounts belonging to Mark Zukerburg and the friends who helped him. At first the website was exclusive to students at Harvard.
When facebook was in its early days it seemed like a safer site because everyone needed a school email address to register. This meant anyone on facebook was guaranteed to be a student. The second reason it was safer in those days is everyone had to use their real name. Everyone was who they said they were. Now you can register from any email address and set a profile to any name. For example people have role-playing facebook accounts. If they want they can set their account a nick name or just first and middle names. People may do this because accounts are checked when applying for jobs. When comparing this, a person can really see how far the website has come in the past six or seven years.
What bothered me when reading this section of “the facebook effect”, is how it kept referring to dating , and underlying meanings about the phrase “poke”. Not everyone this age is looking for a quick hookup, like the novel suggests. Also the influencing sites, such as myspace, are used as dating pages. Users on myspace, are more likely to connect to friends and interest groups than use it as an alternative to something like match.com. I found that the author makes too many generalizations.

beginnings of facebook
Beginnings of facebook
Mark Zukerburg created many websites before facebook was established. The first and most infamous was facemash. This was the site that created legal problems for Zukerburg. After those troubles were cleared up, He went right back to work creating the what would one day be face book. Some websites that were inspiration for face book were Friendster and buddy monster. Friend is described in “the face book effect” as a dating website, although its description sounds like a page to connect with old friends and make new ones. It is pretty much posting a profile and interests like other pages such as live journal, and myspace which is also given as an example in the novel. The other , Buddy monster is a page used with Aol Instant Messenger. Users can upload their buddy lists and compare them to see which friends they have in common and rank most popular users. This could also be used to make friends threw other friends. This idea would eventually be applied on face book when people would be able to find mutual friends on other profiles.
