I've never been a big fan of Facebook, simply because I've been blogging since 2000.
My blog keeps me so busy I can't even keep up with my own thoughts and my work—how could I keep up with everyone else's lives?
As for photos, I prefer Flickr, where i have 32,000+ photos on file. I don't know if you can have that much photos on Facebook.
After watching "The Social Network", I'm even less of a Facebook fan. This movie poster says it all.

Jeroen and I only saw it last night after buying a dibidi at Metrowalk. We wanted to see this when it came out in the cinema, but we simply had no time during its run.
You know a movie is really good when you're still thinking about it after its done, you find yourself Googling for more info and what happened to the characters.
I even woke up this morning with so much hate for Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook and world's youngest billionaire.

If the facts are accurate, it makes me really sad how the world rewards douche bags and assholes like him; how the most evil of people gain so much power and riches, commit more evil and get away with it.
"The Social Network" hit a nerve because I've come to a computer genius who used evil and deceit to gain attention, strive for acceptance, and climb the top.
Much like Mark Zuckerberg, minus the billions.
It makes you think why God allows these people to prosper. It makes you wonder what will happen to them.
The character I hate the most is the one played by Justin Timberlake, Napster creator Sean Parker.
Maybe Justin played him really well because I really can't stand the guy.

In real life, Tyler and Cameron Winkelvoss, the twins whose social networking idea Mark Zuckerberg stole, are not as good-looking as the actor that played them, Armie Hammer (L).
Impossibly perfect, Hammer's good looks and voice remind me of Dynasty's John James (R).

The Winkelvoss twins in real life: They were portrayed as coñotic losers in the movie.

The one I feel most for is Eduardo Saverin, Zuckerberg's friend who gave the initial funds to startup Facebook, but was eventually screwed by his partner. I'm glad he won a court case against Zuckerberg, giving him back 5% co-ownership of Facebook and the right to be called co-founder.

Much as I'd like to see the movie again because it's that good, I don't know if I can sit through another two hours of pain and assholedom. Needless to say, I can't wait for the Oscars or to see if Karma will play a role in Zuckerberg's life.
As for Twitter—that's something I find useful. They took the most important part of Facebook—the status updates and made microblogging big, where you get instant updates from your friends, contacts and celebrities worldwide wherever they are.
In 2008, Facebook tried to buy Twitter for 500 million dollars, but was turned down as co-founder Biz Stone said "Twitter wanted to become not just a popular site but a viable business, rather than be taken over by another company."
A lot of people I know are already spending more time on Twitter than on Facebook or any other site.
One only hopes that Twitter founders Stone, Evan Williams and Jack Dorsey stick together and keep away from the likes of Zuckerberg and his billions.
