The Social Network: Mark Zuckerberg

I found it only appropriate not only to see the movie, The Social Network, but also write about it here, on my blog that highlights social networks. 

The movie was fantastic and hilarious. I recommend it to everyone.  It tells the story of the creation of Facebook, the revolutionary social media.  Despite the seriousness of the two law suits Mark Zuckerberg, the creator of Facebook, finds himself involved in his hilarious character alone keeps the audience rolling with laughter.

This approach seems only appropriate seeing that the primary audience is most likely young adults who use Facebook.

The process of how each piece of Facebook was added and put together, whether accurate or not, was interesting in that it was personally connected to something in Zuckerbergs own life.  For example, the relationship status was created because of an annoying friend who kept bugging Mark about whether a girl in his class was single or not.  Now on Facebook, people can check a relationship status to see if someone is single or not.

As Facebook continues to grow and change we will see what changes Mark Zuckerberg brings to the table, keeping Facebook as the number one social network in the US, and many other countries around the world.
