There very likely would be a network crash
at Facebook. And, that many people wouldn't
decide to do that in a panflash. I don't keep
up with Facebook, but I think they're near
600,000,000 people.
People are creatures of habit.
Similar Example:
Facebook reports that although they opened
the new layout months ago, 80% of their
members have yet to change over. There have
been mutterings of dissatisfaction over the
new layout. (even resulting in a "cyber riot"
to make Facebook modify unpleasantries)
Ultimately they just want to stay where they
are and get what they want.
Facebook will give it to them. They will stay.
But again, 80% of the crowd is just entrentched
in habit. Isn't that why data-mining works?
In months only 20% migrated, now they report
satisfaction.
Lastly, half of them are women. They can't
get ready and move anywhere in a "panflash". g
Do not underestimate the speed with which things can change in cyberspace..
I don't think I am since we're talking about
Facebook, a stand-alone pheneomenon.
