Why Facebook isn’t free…
you know what’s cool…
The Internet at the Dawn of Facebook
Facebook launched in 2004. Today, it has more users than the entire Internet had in 2004.
Before Facebook roamed the web, the digital world was dominated by big, bulky websites that assumed they’d stay big and bulky: Microsoft and its Hotmail, Time Warner and its AOL, Ask and its Jeeves. It’s striking how much the Internet has changed since Facebook sprinted onto the scene — and more striking still how Mark Zuckerberg’s production changed the course of that scene.
Back in 2004,
- the web had some 50 million sites. (Today, it has more than 600 million.)
- the most popular brand on the World Wide Web was Microsoft’s MSN.
- Google was the fifth most popular brand on the World Wide Web, ranking below Yahoo and AOL.
- people still talked about the “World Wide Web.”
- ”blog” — defined as “a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments and often hyperlinks” — was chosen as Merriam-Webster’s word of the year.

Dr Dog - Jackie Wants A Black Eye
I’d watch this movie everyday.
The Spinto Band’s music video for “The Living Things” comes in two parts: The first segment follows a series of cute blob critters as they bend, twist, break apart, devour each other and explode.Then the video transforms to stop motion animation of the band wriggling and floating around an abandoned rooftop. It’s almost like Don Hertzfeldt had a good day or something.

Ingenious Invention of the Day: Introducing Spork Chops, the $3.99 answer to our pork-fried-rice-eating prayers. Also, the cumbersome Chopsticks Aid just wasn’t
cuttingshoveling it.
TV Show Promo of the Day: J.J. Abrams — of Alias, Lost, and Fringe fame — is at the helm of Revolution, a new drama set in a post-apocalyptic world 15 years “after the lights went out” — or when a mysterious electromagnetic pulse threw humanity back into the 19th century, without cars, phones, or (gasp!) the Internet. Premieres this fall on NBC.
