One more pro to Facebook

Last week Remi and Evelyn Urbano, two small kids from Newton, Massachusetts, posted the following picture in their mom’s Facebook account:

What do you think it happened? The kids got more than 118,000 likes on that image and after a quick visit to the Ellen M. Gifford Cat Shelter, Hairryette (they wanted to name their cat Hairy Pawturrr, but it turned out being a female) got a new family and the kids’ dream was fulfilled thanks to the social network created my Mark Zuckerberg.

Every single day, thousands of campaigns are launched or ‘shared’ through Facebook and well, a lot or maybe most of them are just frauds or swindles but there are others that show real efforts of people, trying to accomplish some things they really want. It could be a little cat wanted by two American children or a young man in Chile trying to find support to a cause, both cases demonstrate the powerful tool that Facebook could be in order to get what you might want; all you need is a good image and catchy statement.

Facebook, formed with a social purpose in a college institution in the U.S., nowadays has tended to be a lot more than that – Businesses, politics campaigns, games, relationships, even criminal investigations had seen the light through this website, turning the term social much more complete, perfected and inclusive.

I really believe that Mark Zuckerberg never even dreamed about creating a platform where almost every aspects of human social life could have a place.

What are your thoughts related to Facebook’s growth in terms of applications or actions that we could do with it?
