Facebook has 500 million members right? When did the human race suddenly lose 80+ % of its population?The Web got so tiny because Facebook (which now has more members than the entire population of the world) and sites like it are not the Web, either!

Re: Am I misreading or has the world officially gone bonkers
I have been reading notalwaysright.com all day so my faith in the continued existence of our species is slowly decreasing with every passing minute. Then I go and read that line in a article that I hoped would be well researched... I almost cried.

Multiple user accounts maybe? My sister has like 17 fake accounts that she uses to boost her Farmville stats or something like that.

"which now has more members than the entire population of the world"
How exactly could facebook have more members than the entire world population? Hahahaha. Man, that's so awesome!

Dude, that guy is beyond that amount of effort. Anyone who even suggests that the web is dead has no perception of the world and technology. None at all. The internet is still in its absolute infancy, if you ask me.Stuart wrote:So who's going to register and post a comment on that article?

I believe he is being sarcastic. Rather write to this Chris Anderson fellow.

Uhm... I'm not sure what planet you're from, but on this planet, 500million is definitely not bigger than 7 BILLION, not even with your sister's 17 fake accountsStudio Touch Visagie wrote:Multiple user accounts maybe?

Okay, evidently there are two ways of reading that. If it's meant to be sarcastic, it's not very good sarcasm.

Re: Am I misreading or has the world officially gone bonkers
So the line about "if you are reading this" didn't strike you guys as a bit odd?

Well, I got the whole tongue-in-cheek nature of the article, but that particular statement still stands out as a little stupid to me.GreyWolf wrote:So the line about "if you are reading this" didn't strike you guys as a bit odd?
