The Facebook Effect

I've been reading "The Facebook Effect". An excellent book on the history of Facebook. My own history with Facebook is less pleasant. I got an account in 2005 when Facebook was very new and restricted to students at select colleges. I did this for 2 reasons: (1) I didn't want a disgruntled student creating a fake, mean page for me, and (2) some students said that they preferred communicating over Facebook. Well, after 6 months I decided that I didn't like it. As a faculty member, it felt creepy being on Facebook, and it wasn't a good platform for communicating with students. For the next 4-5 years, I largely ignored Facebook until I started reading this book. It presents an interesting perspective on the history and philosophy of Facebook. I'm going to try using it at least a little once again now that I have a better feel for the purpose and pitfalls of Facebook. The book (as opposed to the website) is excellent. Grade: B+
