Facebook Movie: The Ultimate Social Media Stunt
Today I watched the Twitter movie trailer, a parody of the upcoming Facebook movie that tells the story of the popular website’s young founders. It seemed crazy to me at first to have a feature film about Facebook’s roots when it’s not that old of a company. Maybe a documentary – but a glorified, big [...]
