SOMETHING New

As time passes so change has to come, this is the same thing when it comes to the internet that is always reinventing itself. First it started with the internet itself, and then came Google and Yahoo that totally revolutionize the way people search for information. Then there was Napster, a download engine that helped users search and download music with ease. Then there were the P2P programs that allowed users to share file, music, videos over the internet. People are always finding new was of making something interesting and appealing towards the users. Today the latest trend is facebook, a program that allows users to meet other people online. This dynamic isn’t something new but the ability to mix in other software to further personalize any users profile is. More than 70 million people visit the site regularly. This makes this a new phenomenon, one where it can be further exploited to convey messages. It has become so popular that even politicians and major companies have associated themselves with it. According to Alexa, the website's ranking among all websites increased from 60th to 7th in terms of traffic, from September 2006 to September 2007.
