Facebook is reported to be issuing an IPO in 2012 hoping to raise $10 billion. Here’s our first look at Facebook:

When Mark Zuckerberg, a junior at Harvard, introduced thefacebook.com in February, he never imagined the site soon would have 180,000 registered users at 37 colleges and universities. In addition to listing e-mail addresses, cell-phone numbers and screen names, facebook profiles allow you to list the courses you’re taking, which clubs you’re involved in and your summer plans. It’s the ultimate tool for finding someone to borrow lecture notes from or for figuring out whose floor to crash on while you follow Phish cross-country. Kate Stanchik, a junior at Harvard, says it’s easy to spend hours looking up friends—and scouting out peers who share your passion for four-square. If all goes as planned, thefacebook will hit nearly 70 new campuses come September.

REBLOGGING FOR THE PHISH REFERENCE. What??

Just seven years ago Facebook was being touted as a helpful tool for following Phish cross-country. Now it’s toppling dictators. Its mind’s got a mind of its own.

It’s not about the site, the name of it, or the guy who created it. 

It’s about the people using it. You can’t put a brand name on a fucking revolution. It’s just a website; an aid of communication. Nothing more and nothing less. The people that are using it are simply communicating. 

Facebook didn’t change the world. We changed the world. Facebook just happened to be there. It is NOT the other way around. 

Hey you guys remember Beanie Babies? Those aren’t even worth a quarter at a garage sale now.
