In history, there are times when bands of small, determined people overcame insurmountable odds to survive and change history. The Greeks held back the overwhelming forces of the Persians in the battle of Thermopylae. The Maccabees overcame the Seleucid Empire, and now we have Hanukah. The cast of Jersey Shore overcame decency and common sense and are all stars, and have forever ruined my idea of anything coming from New Jersey.
I am not one of those people so determined to change the world, whether through brute force or through extreme use of a tanning bed.
So, with Facebook redesigning profiles yet again, I decided to get my act together and redesign The Anti-Social Media Facebook page. By redesign, I really only added a Welcome tab for people who come to the page for the first time. I tried really hard with that. If you don't "like" my page yet, you better get your act together and "like" it or I'm gonna come over and give you a "liking" you won't forget.
Also, I'm now a "Facebook Developer." I don't know exactly what that means beyond the fact I am one. I haven't sold my soul, or cut off my left pinky, or given anything to Facebook beyond lots of personal data and hours of my life I will never get back (just like everyone else).
Finally, I decided to give in. I added the "like" button to the bottom of my posts. If I can't bring Facebook down from my blog on the outside, maybe I can from the inside.
Or maybe Facebook will cannibalize my ideas in front of my very own eyes. It's not like Zuckerberg hasn't done that before.
