facebook with a small ‘f’
Posted on March 19th, 2007 by si
I got a txt (yeah, I write it like that consciously) from someone this evening about an upcoming event. They said if I were interested, they’d ‘facebook’ me the details.
They know my e-mail. They know my mobile. But their preferred means of sending out info to a group is via Facebook (and I don’t think they are going to set it as an event). I think this is significant.
Facebook is becoming a medium in it’s own right. It has the rich structure, interaction and size in place. It’s looking dangerously like becoming the social meta-web, or something. Will people start to talk about facebooking someone in the same way they google something?
In the official website advert for an event in the students union here the date and time were up, with “for more details see facebook” as a link.
Granted the event was run by a society or group so not as official as I had first thought, but yes I’d agree this one is gathering momentum.
It might be the most important reason to get that “Sports Science” degree…
