Facebook: The Movie. Too soon?
Posted by Manuela Barreto @ August 28th, 2008 in Social Marketing
The West Wing’s creator, Aaron Sorkin, thinks not.
Facebook has had quite a life since 2004, initially opening its network to Harvard students, then all Ivy Leagues, until eventually welcoming just about anyone above the age of 13.
Today, the social network monster has surpassed its main competitor MySpace, which currently has 117.6 million visitors compared to Facebook’s 132.1 million unique visitors. It ranks 5th place amongst all websites in terms of world traffic.
Given these facts, Sorkin had a good reason to come up with the idea of making- Facebook: The Movie. He agreed to write the movie for Sony Pictures studio Columbia and has even opened up his very own Facebook profile as to better understand how the whole online socializing ordeal really works.
He claims he’s not truly familiar or Internet-savvy on this specific terrain, however, it’s to his very own interest to become Facebook-savvy.
We will all be looking foward to this master production, in the meantime, if you have any stories to tell or tips for Sorkin, join his page.
