Best Technology 2000-2010: The Decade in Tech

Social Networking Sites

facebook-vs-twitter

Facebook and Twitter—like Google—are now both verbs. “Hey Mom, I’ll just be in my room Facebooking, call me when dinner’s ready.”  Or when you get caught “twittering” or “tweeting” at work. There’s a good variety of social networking sites out there today, but we feel the two most influential (and fun) are Facebook and Twitter. Facebook went live at the beginning of 2004 and today it has over 350 million active users. Facebook is basically the Web’s largest photo-sharing site and has made it seem cool to have stalker-esque tendencies while using the site. Twitter on the other hand is a revolution all on its own. Twitter took social networking (and stalking) to a whole new level—you basically tell people what you’re doing and what you’re thinking 24/7. Twitter and Facebook have convinced people that a virtual friend and a virtual follower is just as good as a real life one—and we commend them for that.

  4. 1234567892 at 2:01am 1st November 2010 This site is so incredibly slow. Please don't make lists like this. There's a picture and a few sentences to read and then I have to go to the next slide which takes 10-15 seconds to load.
  5. Kuroi at 8:45am 28th October 2010 The Wii? Really? If that's not the biggest phail I've ever seen, I don't know what is. There are lots of things better than the Wii. Example: ball-in-a-cup, the end of the Harry Potter series, the Shake Weight (no, seriously. it's fun to watch people us it)
    1. rodericbuff at 10:47am 14th November 2010 seriously yur childish
    2. Akimbo Assassin at 11:47am 11th January 2011 Yes, good games on the wii are few and far between. but the wii is a helluva lot more durable than, say, the xbox 360. You knock it over, nothing happens. not so for the 360

  8. Sam at 8:15pm 21st January 2010 Hands down it's the TiVo. I can't think of any device that people use any more in the last 10 years than a DVR. Well, maybe a cell phone, but TiVo is pretty amazing.

    I am also blown away at how fast the iPhone has grown in popularity.
  9. dumbledoor77 at 1:30pm 21st January 2010 Dude, you know as well as I do that Google is going to rule the world one day. Perhaps the entire Universe!
