Since I was young, new social media phenomenon have come and gone. Blogger has replaced Live Journal, Facebook has replacedMyspace, and virtual communities have replaced physical ones. Sounds crazy, right? But think about it. How often do you log into Facebook, Twitter, or AIM? Most would say every day. I don't think this is a bad thing, we are just keeping up with the times. We're living in the Jetson-age rather than the Stone Age. And with so much progressive technology that makes our hectic lives so simple and easy to maintain, that's definitely something to YabbaDabbaDoo about.
Normally, a groom will say ''I do,'' and kiss the bride. This newly-wed did things a little unconventionally, updating his facebook status in between steps. But sometimes I fear that being online takes precedence over being present...even at one's own wedding. If I was the other person standing on that alter I'd probably tell him to to re-update it to single. That should be a fun walk of shame down the aisle!
I'd like to say that there are only a select few that are bred with this kind of ''specialness'' (like the cast of Jersey Shore). But according toMark Zuckerberg, such social media stints won't be so unlikely in the future. Zuckerberg sees Facebook as a kind of technological take-over. Let's just hope he uses his powers for good and not evil...even though interviewing with Forbes makes that wish questionable. Feast your eyes on The Facebook Invasion.
I'm wondering if the coined joke is even funny anymore, or just true. Is nothing official unless it's Facebook official? Even our lives? Young tech-savy CEO say what?
