It looks like Facebook is poised to become the premier community portal among Slovak netizens, since a cursory glance shows that among its users are Slovak celebrities, writers, actors, managers, popular media faces, i.e. the ones that are the trend-setters and should attract the hoi-polloi.
When I joined Facebook back in early October 2007, the Slovakia network boasted some 8000 members. As of writing this there are more than 16000 members in this network. There probably are more Slovaks in other networks as well. That’s not that many when you consider the estimated 60 million Facebook users, but still quite an impressive number, which was doubled in less than 4 months. And I consider my joining to be that proverbial tipping point that started the trend. Yes, its all thanks to me, it doesn’t matter that I have less 'friends' than Pol Pot, I am a blogger, dammit, and I demand some recognition!
Ahem, sorry about that.
I am just saying that, much like this blog-post, Facebook has no fucking point whatsoever and that’s probably also the main reason why it’s here to stay. So get on with the program and get the fuck in. Pay no attention to the spoil-sport conspiracy freaks, but if Facebook really is a "a social experiment, an expression of a particular kind of neoconservative libertarianism" (As if that was a bad thing!), then sign me up again please!
(Yes, a cheque would be fine, Mr. Zuckerberg.)
