facebook.
a name which get hot recently.
a name which you always find in your email inbox (no matter if you're yet a member).
a social networking site which makes you addicted hours per day.
a model for the future social networking in the web 2.0 environment.

as a user. i've got many emails in my inbox about my friends' activities (in facebook). facebook was great for linking up with friends who you might not contact for ages. and at most of the time (guess it's what most of the people do). for you to look up friends' friends... curiosity... ha......

and also the million of applications do drive you crazy... sending out a round of drinks/bear/voka/holiday gifts/graffiti... etc... to your friends... but... when will the bear come to reality... haha



as a man working in this field. there is news on facebook everyday. it recorded 117% growth rate in aug. in the US social networking site reaching 19million users according to acnielson. in hong kong. according to hitwise hk. it just ranked 19th amongst all websites with 0.69% market share in aug. how long will it take for facebook to threaten xanga in the hong kong market tho. the two websites do have quite a different users' profile.

and how brands could make use of this platform. especially with the addictive usage of the applications by the users. to deliver their message to the target audience.

anyway. let's see you on facebook. ^^
