A lot of people say that social networking, like Myspace, is a fad. I have to disagree. We are witnessing evolution. Myspace was poorly written and could not handle the amount of users that it attracted. Facebook was the next step in the evolutionary chain. It is faster, better written, and has the capacity to handle user loads. Facebook gave us statuses and feed updates. Although the feed update feature was met with raised fists and pitch forks, people accepted it.

Our system keeps evolving from slow clunky systems, to lean and mean networks like Twitter. Twitter will probably evolve into something stronger as our everyday lives change.

For all you ubuntu users out there, make sure you download it, then run the package installer. Do not try to run it from the browser.
