Fad = Information Overload

If Facebook is the new myspace, then what is going to be the new Facebook? I don't think twitter is the answer. The novelty of Facebook has to do with reading as MUCH or as LITTLE about your friends as you like. Twitter errs to the "LITTLE." So what is the next addictive internet incarnation? And just how many more applications can we download to our Blackberrys????

Inquiring minds want to know.

This new intervention (internet + invention) must be discrete. One must secretly be able to give the appearance of feverish research on the WWW or at least texting some HYT. Yes, Facebook does count a viral marketing...at least that is how it must show up in a daily report. But let's return to the issue at hand. Facebook's new intervention...

It must remain as far ahead of the curve as possible. Which means in less than a year, it will be used solely for cyber sex or internet dating (RIP myspace). And if society continues its downward spiral of WTF's, IDK's, BFF's, and ROFLMAO's, the new Facebook must be succinct.

This is what I envision. Something on order of a lipstick or chapstick. It buzzes once for coffee, twice for dinner, and thrice for BC. The consumer may then discretely apply the product and check out the miniature screen for name, time, and location.

Watch Apple launch this by the end of the week...
