Now that’s a thought, Facebook as a Digital Scrapbook…
You know I never looked at Facebook the way I will start looking at it… as Darren Murph explains it in his Editorial “Facebook’s my digital scrapbook first, social network second” See the excerpt below and you will know what I mean…
I joined Facebook on April 20, 2005. I know that because Facebook remembered it for me. And that, friends, is where the true magic of Mark Zuckerberg’s network lies. To me, Facebook’s most polarizing overhaul yet finally takes the service to a place that I had always wanted it to be; not because I had grand ideas about how it should service its increasingly growing customer base, but because — selfishly — the Timeline essence of the product was the only thing that really mattered to me. Millions upon millions of users later, it feels to me that Facebook has finally made the social network personal.
You can bet anything that parents will be reviewing their live using Facebook, heck, I will even torture my children with my timeline, starting all the way back to when I started Facebook… that will be a long boring night for them! Definitely right out of “How I met your Mother”, just maybe not as funny… 
Now head on over to read the article, and you too might look at Facebook in a whole new light. Darren Murph states, “Facebook, to me, isn’t about today. It’s about the future, looking back.”
