New Facebook
The internet is a wierd thing. If you're thinking or feeling a certain way you can act on it 'virtually' - without even moving from your chair. This means whole hosts of people who feel strongly about something ebb and flow through the ether together, having huge sway in the online world, without actually ever meeting each other or convening in physical space. Every so often, sites such as ourselves catch one of these waves of opinion, and it benefits us as it passes.Most recently, one of the biggest shocks to hit the online community has been the new look Facebook, and we've felt the after tremmors here on Debatewise. Less than 24 hours after posting the debate 'Should facebook bring back the old format' (http://www.debatewise.com/debates/525) we had a record number of views of the site, literally double what we had been getting previously. Some of these viewers may never return, but some will, and online controversies such as this seem to drive people to our site to air their views and make thier minds up. All, of course, bringing us that next step closer to reaching critical mass, and that next step closer to producing revenue for charity. So Bebo, Myspace, Youtube....anyone fancy a re-vamp?
