I am so tired of hearing about Facebook! Haha. I still remember my roommate was perhaps one of the first people from our school to have one, back when it was still only available to college students. I thought it was okay if it was just me and some school friends. Now everybody and their mom (literally!) has one. So interesting. I kind of want to see the movie, but I don't know if I want to pay for it.

It's true that it has been, so to speak, the facebook that launched a thousand ships... There are so many applications and sales that occur based on facebook. Mobile phone sellers use keeping up to date on your facebook as one of their selling points for smart phones. And there are a host of mostly-free games on facebook that offer bonuses for people willing to pay in cash. Facebook has, almost accidentally, become a huge testing ground for virtual currencies, which people treat very differently to 'real money', even if they paid cash to get some of it. It's kickstarted a whole bunch of ideas and projects.

But would I want to see the movie? Not so much...

It was actually a really good movie. Very entertaining. I remember being at one of the first schools that facebook was offered for, it's come a long way.

Not on Facebook, and no intention of joining (I'll wait for the next wave now); but I would like to see this movie. Sorkin is a great writer of dialogue, and I think Fincher is a very interesting director. I would actually like to see it in the cinema, but by January 15 I have no doubt it will be available on DVD. Why does it take so long to open most movies in Japan?

Facebook. If I want to meet someone, I will do that in person since I am neither Hikikomori nor NEET.

Facebook is not for me, it's like having a job !!!!! I would like to see the movie and read his book.

The movie was good and it made the founder seem like an jerk. Considering his first stance on ads he might want to go back and rethink it as there are far too many ads now. That being said, after seeing the movie, I feel a bit dirty for using it seeing as how scummy the guy came across - and the napster guy just seems like a dick.

I can't wait for the sequel - the gripping history of the founding of Twitter. I hear it promises to be edge of the seat stuff.
