It’s off-topic Sunday! Where I, well, you know, write an off topic post. Today it’s Facebook.
So I have a Facebook account. After 6 people emailed me in like a two week span, I gave in and got me one. I don’t know exactly why it fascinates me. I’ve grown to think of it as a 2nd-Life for people who don’t play 2nd-Life, Web 2.0, social application, white noise generator. It’s like the Midway of the Internet, except all the Carnies can not only guess your weight and age, they know your email address and what website you last visited.
Top 5 applications I want to create and install on Facebook:
1- PAY ME - once anyone installs the application it automatically deposits 25 cents in my Paypall account every 45 minutes.
2 - EMERGENCY - once someone installs the application it randomly dials the local 911 number of one of my Facebook ‘friends’ and demands a swat team at the residence.
3 - MARKY’S BIRTHDAY - when you install this app it triggers an automatic email message to you and and all your Facebook ‘Friends’ reminding them when my birthday is.
4 - CASUAL FRIDAY - a user installs this application and they get a daily email, fax (if number provided) and robotic phone call reminding them that every Friday is a ‘casual Friday’.
5 - BUY THIS - once this simple application is installed it rifles through all your personal emails, websites, voice mails, instant messages, web cookies, passwords, Amazon lists ETC and sends the results to the top bidder of the day. (Oh, wait, I think Mark Zuckerberg already made this app…)
