The Age of Facebook

The article "The Age of Facebook" is retweeted more than a 1000 times and 'Liked' just about 150. Ironic.

So how come it's not called the Age of Apple? Apple has done just as much to change our culture and dominate tech thought in the last couple of years.

Is it that we're not bullish on Apple anymore and are pushing facebook?

It'd be interesting to see where facebook falls flat. If Foursquare doesn't get brought out, I'm guessing it's in the mobile location space.

My Facebook problem: Whenever I go on their site I get a terrible Facebook headache. It's like being in a loud restaurant, a packed mall, and a crowded amusement park at the same time.

Why are all the unfun things making it big? By unfun I mean being at the mercy of megacorps (Apple, Facebook, Google). So we had a couple of good years with the internet and individuality, and now it is supposed to be all over?

Is this because of the innate herd nature of the human race, that is, people just like being told what to do?

So which is it? A Ponzi scheme or a brilliant business model?

Ask to anybody its really the Age of Facebook now.
