we had those guys come on here and troll, but then they started trawling through people's personal websites and getting pictures and stuff and generally being pains..

After recently reading about Facebook and how it came about in a May '06 issue of the New Yorker, I got curious and signed up.

Since we (Ticketmaster) just did a partnership with them we were encouraged to start one up, but after reviewing it i just wasn't feeling it.


Here's a snippet of what the partnership means from our CEO
Sean M:
Quote:
The first phase of our partnership was implemented yesterday with the launch of Ticketmaster Live, a sponsored group on Facebook. The group, focused on indie music, will provide the Facebook community with current music news, tour info, special access to exciting offers and giveaways featuring established and emerging acts as well as links to Ticketmaster and Ticketweb to purchase tickets. Ticketmaster Live is programmed by LiveDaily and will be partnering with Music Services to provide special offers and pre-sales opportunities for music acts. You’ll see exclusive videos, contests and more! Our initial launch will focus on indie music, but our long-term intention is to extend coverage to include Sports, Arts & Theater, and Family.

Broke my heart when I read this:

DARDENNE PRAIRIE, Mo. - Megan Meier thought she had made a new friend in cyberspace when a cute teenage boy named Josh contacted her on MySpace and began exchanging messages with her.

Megan, a 13-year-old who suffered from depression and attention deficit disorder, corresponded with Josh for more than a month before he abruptly ended their friendship, telling her he had heard she was cruel.

The next day Megan committed suicide. Her family learned later that Josh never actually existed; he was created by members of a neighborhood family that included a former friend of Megan's.

I would say, "no."

You can install several "applications" that allow people to interact with you in every passive way imaginable.

Best part about facebook, being lazy with the appearance. Everyone's FB looks the same for the most part, so unlike myspace no one points out my layout or background hasnt changed in 6 months.
