Happy F*ckin' Birthday Facebook!

Facebook turned the big FIVE this past Wednesday. To mark its birthday celebration, Facebook created a virtual "thank-you" gift for readers through its Facebook Gift Shop. To a social networking site, 5-years-old is like the equivalent of 90 people years. Does that mean it will die soon? Let's hope so!

Everyone wants to know what the next big thing will be and I have a feeling Google will take the reigns on this too. I've been hearing a lot of buzz about orkat. According to Wikipedia orkut is the most visited website in Brazil and second most visited site in India. In 2008, more than 23 million of Brazilians had an account on orkut.

This intrigues me because orkat it has the potential to truly be a global social networking site. People may eventually use this amazing technology to reach beyond there comfort zone instead of befriending all the people they already know. But seeing how most people (including myself) use facebook to stalk ex's, I may just being idealistic.
