Note that this article has been updated to also include some of the private discussions with thought leaders in the past. You can read my final overview of my research into the Millennial generation along with what I predicted and what happened as they matured at this link. While I still speak about Echo Boomers and iGenZ privately, I seldom add new articles to this specific blogspot site. If you're reaching out about a speaking engagement, you can contact me at the research firm SqlinSix.
Fascinating read about the social network, Facebook. Notice:
Facebook, in short, aims not to be a Web site you spend a lot of time on, but something that defines your online — and increasingly offline — life.
Mark Zuckerberg is quite ambitious, and I have little doubt that his company will continue to perform well. If the trend hasn't happened already, I would expect few people to not be on Facebook over time.
Wendy: You do have a Facebook page, Stan!
Stan: Oh [bleep] No, I just got that because Kyle ...
Wendy: Yeah well I saw your page Stan. Relationship status: single?
Stan: Relationship status, I didn't even pay any attention to ...
Wendy: You like being single, Stan, so that you can use Facebook to find other girls? According to your Facebook page we aren't friends.
Stan: All right, I'll add you as a friend, I'm sorry.
Wendy: And you better change your relationship status to in a relationship!
Stan: How?
Wendy: By editing your profile under basic information!
See, even Stan Marsh had to join.
As I've privately said many times, I highly respect Mark Zuckerberg because he understands people better than many people understand themselves.
