Facebook is evil

I finally joined facebook since myspace has been going downhill ever since Rupert Murdoch took over, and now I'm neglecting my blog. It's way more time consuming than twitter. It's evil.

I made some time for actual human interaction this weekend and saw Year One. It's very stupid and very funny. It might be my new favorite Jack Black movie.

I also rented Crossing Over, which is far more serious, but a very good movie I strongly recommend.

If Facebook really wants to dominate the social networking world it should create a careers section. It would allow their many recent college graduates to create a resume page available to employers without the rest of their profile being viewable.

They already have the educated workforce that employers are looking for. All they have to do is add features to make it easy for existing users to post a resume and search for jobs. Why would anyone create yet another profile with another site like monster.com if they can simply add it to their facebook page without allowing potential employers to see the party pics in the rest of their profile? They could make it easy for employers to solicit applicants who have the interests and experience they're looking for. Or do they already do that?

Hmmmm, didn't LinkedIn handle that already or is that different from what you are looking for?

LinkedIn doesn't have nearly as many members as Facebook, especially among young people. Why would someone bother creating another new profile if they can do it on their existing facebook page?

LinkedIn is a professional network. Facebook is social. A lot of people are on both, obviously more active on Facebook.

I'm on both too. I'm suggesting that it would be smart if Facebook allowed people to do both on their own site instead of sending people away to LinkedIn.
