Don’t forget back in 2004, David Storey paid $26,500 in Entropia , then Jon Jacobs invested $100,000 in a virtual space station in Entropia in November 2005, and of course Anshe Chung became a millionaire via Second Life in 2006. That means we will seek the tools of engagment we can control at our own pace.

The High Point: Facebook In 2004, I joined Facebook and my behavior changed drastically.

I’m sure the internet marketing industry isn’t alone in this regard. See, I’m one of those Facebook users who have been on the service since February 2004, which is quite a long time considering Facebook was open to about three schools at the time that I signed up.

Face it (no pun intended), Facebook is the ultimate stalker tool. Facebook understands its demographics and practices smart marketing. The Apple Students Group is a great way for Apple to market its own products, and over the summer, it offered free songs through iTunes. Facebook lets you spy. Thoughtful. Facebook is engaging.

In fact, you can validate that by cross checking my user ID, 102991, which should indicate that I’ve been around for a real long time (since February 2004, to be more precise). The problem is that Twitter didn’t try to market itself as a private platform. and I felt the same way as you did.
