A bit on Social Media

Long long ago in an ivy-covered castle, a young man yearned for more constant companionship.  He made a book full of faces and passed it around the land so his peers could become closer aquatinted without being face to face.  Other nearby places heard of this idea and asked the man to make the same for them.  Soon, many groups were all using this 'face book' to make 'friends' with those around them.  

This tale is that of FACEBOOK, the social networking site, started at Harvard University in 2004, expanded to other Boston universities in 2005, and then offered to the world later on.  What began as a networking site per school, joined with a legitimate school email address, soon became an online communication network open to anyone.  Facebook's history is a rich (literally) and interesting one.  

However, when  Mark Zuckerberg launched the site, I don't believe he realized the sometimes ' monster' he was creating.  A site that could cost you a job, make your mother stop sending you money, bring your grandmother to tears, cost you a friendship or force you to talk to someone really awkward.  Just as anything that trusts humans to behave and gives them too much freedom, Facebook has been slightly abused and now necessitates an etiquette guide: 

Thank you YouTube; you are hilarious and oh so helpful.
