Facebook at 5 - Is It Growing Up Too Fast? - NYTimes.com

  • Facebook’s approach is to invite advertisers to join in the conversation. New
    “engagement” ads ask users to become fans of products and companies — sometimes
    with the promise of discounts. If a person gives in, that commercial allegiance
    is then broadcast to all of the person’s friends on the site.


    A new kind of engagement ad, now being tested, will invite people to vote —
    “what’s your favorite color M&M?” for example — and brands will pay every
    time a Facebook member participates.

  • Dale Dougherty, editor and publisher of Make Magazine, has likened
    schools of the future to a wild ecosystem.  Students are growing up in a
    jungle, he argues, and schools need to figure out how to make sense of the
    "wild."  One productive way to do this is to develop a giant smart grid to
    disseminate information and facilitate communication through student developed
    Facebook pages, where key educational interests and accomplishments are posted
    and shared. 
  •   As the recently released MacArthur
    Foundation study on digital youth     stated:  "they (kids) are often more
    motivated to learn from peers than from adults [...] to stay relevant in the
    21st century, education institutions need to keep pace with the rapid changes
    introduced by digital media."
