I look at this song’s lyrics as an allegory for Facebook’s entire existence right now: a poem about something else entirely, incidentally touching on everything from the OG product to the current fuckup and even new products. How did you do this, Superparka? Lyrics below.
“I will not always be your friend
Tell yourself every thing’s okay
Easy-come-easy-go again
It’s gonna gonna get to you get to you someday
Skip
What did you mean the other day?
Telling me everything has changed
The mess i made is the mess you made
It’s gonna gonna get to you get to you… someday
Skip
Why so doubtful?
Maybe one day you’ll understand
True love will find you in the end”
Well this is cute. While you begin to think about safeguarding your privacy, facebook again asks to share it: at F8 yesterday Zuckerberg announced that facebook will now have a dating-app function that matches you with people who are not your friends but share your interests. Which, to be fair, is not a dumb use of the assets they already have, but also requires you to share more information with facebook if you want your matches to work well. And while we are all into Cambridge Analytica’s bankruptcy, the trust isn’t exactly back for facebook. Any of y’all gonna use this?
While we’ve got ‘facebook’ and ‘dating’ on the mind, here’s a great piece that my buddy Ben ran in Digg this week about how tech founders have a tendency to get hotter as they ascend in their careers. Like, not power-hot, but physically more attractive. While this is a fun thing to notice, didn’t we say the same of, say, Jennifer Aniston in 2010? When you find money, you can afford being really beautiful. And when your career depends on being beautiful (whether that’s for shareholders or NBC), you bet that money gets spent. So in light of this information, I’d say we owe a special congratulations to Mark Zuckerberg for staying true to himself this whole time. College aesthetic 4ever.
