Sheryl Sandberg: About Facebook

imageAll we hear all day long at school is how great Facebook is at this, or how wonderful Facebook did that! Facebook, Facebook, Facebook! (BTW, are we Facebook friends?) Everyone is on Facebook. (We’re on it right now. Shh!) Though many people appreciate and enjoy Facebook, just as many seem to have mixed feelings about it. Peggy Orenstein, writing in the New York Times last week, penned a piece exploring the sudden awkwardness of your past by way of connecting with “friends” from nursery school who find you on Facebook. That seems cute compared to finding out your significant other has left you by way of a status update on their page. Just remember, those experiences build character.

Sheryl Sandberg (pictured) is the COO of Facebook and will be visiting 92YTribeca next month for our Captains of Industry series. We imagine she’ll have lots to say about social relationships in the age of Facebook, their new redesign which has been suggested is a response to a perceived threat from Twitter (BTW, do you Twitter?) as well as the recent brouhaha over a recent change to Facebook’s privacy agreement—then rescinded under protest from users.

Facebook, Facebook, Facebook! It really is all we hear.
