"Why does Facebook work so well?"

Today on his AllFacebook blog, Nick O'Neill does a wonderful job answering the burning question, "Why does Facebook work so well?" 

Here's an excerpt of his answer...

"For those of us that have always been internet evangelists, we have always strived to try to try and perform as much communication as possible on the web. While we still have real world relationships, our virtual ones have not been the same. We have tried to create new systems that help mimic our real lives and the closest that we’ve come so far is ….. Facebook! Facebook allows me to perform most of the communication I need to in close to real time from when my friend laughed at a picture or my favorite blogger wrote a masterful thesis.

The bottom line is that all of these tools are evolving so we can constantly monitor each other and communicate as if we were right there with the person as they go through their life. It makes us feel more connected and strangely enough, it often makes them feel more connected as well....

Facebook helps us to communicate most effectively in this digital world. Simply put. There is currently no better solution. Will something better come along? Maybe but it’s months away not days away. As peoples’ lives migrate online, they are going to need to find the best solution for keeping in touch with all their contacts. Right now, Facebook is that solution."

[Puma Basket Brights]

This puma surpasses all my other wallets in funkiness, durability and looks. I love it's "tape" story too, although this is built much better than the old tape one. It even has a rivet for a chain. It's no longer just for fashion people - adults love it too.
