Trend Within A Trend. Evidently No End.

   David Fincher went on to direct, The Social Network, an adaptation of events leading to the creation of Facebook.  Captivating an audience who had grown with the site that has influenced and shaped a standard for social networks.  Whether, Mark Zuckerberg, actually did "dick" over his faction of conspirators is up to the viewer and the individual.  However, one thing is certain. With the advent of social sites bombarding our computers, cell phones, media and rhetoric there is no sign of slowing down.  From MySpace, Twitter, to Facebook each provide the service of connecting with millions of members.  The only difference is accessibility.
  
   How fast can I post, view and comment on my friends last update.  Facebook quickly took over the top spot. Especially after it was completely open to the public.  I'm sure many people don't even remember when Facebook was only intended and exclusive to college students, requiring student emails as a basis for registration.  Still the question remains, "what is the difference?"  Facebook and most notably Twitter are better capable in accessing and delivering information quicker.

   The trend here is speed in which a person can obtain the info. Myspace as a whole offers a shit ton more media applications than both the other sites.  They offer music and video channels Facebook doesn't, blog options unseen from others.  As a musician this would seem more ideal to me in attempting to showcase my music or an artistry from an individual.  However, modern society expects to obtain more information faster than ever.  Especially how the landscape of technology paved the way for how we receive information.  Twitter and Facebook aren't the leaders in social networking because they offer a substantially improved, redefined alternative to its predecessors.  They are the leaders because they are quick and more trendy.  The problem with trends is exactly what defines them.  They are predestined, obsolete contributers to an ongoing trend.

   The fact remains, trends are rocketed in to the spotlight because they offer a different face to something familiar that we can call our own before it catches on.  Now it is cool to Tweet and ironically #trend within the trendy social application itself.  Yes, Facebook, Twitter, Myspace are all trends.  They are popular because they are a new way of looking at the same thing.   Obviously I am not denying the overwhelmingly important and beneficial social implications.  It is just Myspace still does what all the others do and quite frankly rendered more aesthetically.  Im simply stating that sooner than later the next phenomenon in social networking will come along and captivate the minds and souls of every other inquisitive being. In no way am I picking sides.  Something faster and more efficient seems to be the only factor that could solidify an opportunity at longevity.  The way I see it is why let Zuckerberg make millions if not billions by now when we all have a trendy bone left inside us.  I'm trying to get my hands on that trend money.
