Is it just me or is there absolutely not a single damn thing happening on the internet right now worth talking about, besides the same four things that people have already been talking about for the last week, like the Kendra sex tape, or that everybody in the world and their mom is addicted to being on Facebook every damn second of the day?  It’s almost as if Facebook has become the internet; like how people used to joke about how someday a “Starbucks” would be what you’d call a cup of coffee. It’s seriously gotten to the point that when people talk about the “internet” they really just mean Facebook and vice-versa. At least Starbucks is a cool sounding name (not to mention a character in Moby Dick). Facebook, by comparison, is almost idiotically literal. “Its like a book! Of Faces! ” I bet Mark Zuckerberg probably wishes he would’ve called it something cooler now, in hindsight. But what the hell do I know? He owns a company worth like 94 billion dollars and I have a jar full of change on my dresser that I save “just in case I need some extra money.” I remember when people first started talking about Facebook I was like “Yeah that Myspace for college thing? That thing will NEVER work. Myspace 4-EVA!” And now look at what’s happened. Myspace has been relegated to poor people, middle schoolers and shitty emo bands, and Facebook is dominating the world, as shown by the handy chart below (courtesy of Mashable). Pretty soon, the internet will just be something you use to look for shit to put on Facebook. Until, of course, whatever comes after Facebook comes along and destroys it, just like it did Myspace, and Myspace did to Friendster and Friendster did to Makeoutclub. It’s like evolution, only in the wrong direction. [click to continue…]
