Facebook is Jupiter in Aquarius
Published on January 18, 2009
One of the things that makes Facebook so Uranian is its ability to host applications that use people on Facebook as their subjects, fostering group participation. There are also 2 millions events that include people in them created each month, and 19 million active Groups that exist on the site.
One of the basic feature of Facebook is your Wall. Your friends can leave messages on your Wall that your other friends can see. (and you can ofcourse delete anything from your wall if you choose).
This fosters a feeling of group participation and community by allowing your friends to see what's going on in your life - and what's going on in your life with your friends - without having to explain anything specifically. You can easily join causes and events and invite others to do so. You can ofcourse upload pictures and movies and share them.
You can search through lists of friends of your friends to find other friends you've lost touch with. And ofcourse, you can make new friends through groups of commmon interest you find on Facebook. Barack Obama's profile has almost 4 million supporters on Facebook. The CNN inauguration event on Facebook has as of today 844,557 confirmed guests.
