Facebook

With the invention of the internet comes a wide open domain of communication networking and creative possibilities. While I believe that twitter.com, YouTube, Ebay, and craigslist.com are creative, I think that the website that has had to most influence on my life is the notorious college phenomenon of Facebook. The social networking site was created by Mark Zuckerberg in 2001 It was created to connect college students from the different Ivy League schools, and eventually spread to thousands of networks: campuses, high schools, regions, etc. Facebook is easy to use, and all you need is a picture and valid email address to join. The site gives users the opportunity to develop their own creativity with the web space that the site gives them. If one scrolls through the profiles of his/her friends, then one will surely find creative "interests, favorite quotations, even live status updates". The site also gives one the change to find someone who they have just met, and to communicate with them even if they do not have their cell phone number (by writing on their facebook wall). The site has surely allowed users to become more creative with what they put on their own profile, and the invention itself falls into the category to creativity in the domain of the internet.
