"Help Simba, help! Spider-Man Karoo"

"Simba is a very handsome boy, he is the most handsome cat in our Faculty of Arts, I hope he can find his ideal!"

"Charles, Professor Maxwell asked you to bring your weekend homework in class tomorrow. Don't use the excuse that your homework was eaten by Simba."

"There are so many pets in the school, maybe you can tell us the characteristics of that sweet ragdoll cat?"

"Poor Simba, he looks like his beard is withered."

"Charles, your avatar is not your own. This is Vincent Landmore, right? Can't everyone be honest and make friends sincerely?"

"What kind of website is this that looks interesting and can be used to find a mate for your pet?"

"Simba who loves each other" began to spread in a small area of ​​Harvard. Simba is a star cat of the Harvard Faculty of Letters. Because he often goes to the lecture hall of the Faculty of Liberal Arts, Simba is known by the whole college as a cat with folded ears. The cat is vigorous, agile and quick-witted, and even looks very serious when he is in class.

The students of the Faculty of Arts took turns to take care of Simba, taking him for a walk in the morning and evening, until a while ago when he was fascinated by a puppet kitten by the Charles River, Simba not only missed his favorite "Literary History" three times , Even the small dried fish specially reserved for it on the windowsill did not eat. It dragged a small cloth bag every day to search for something in the campus.

With the help of this brand-new platform, the Faculty of Letters tries to find out the puppet cat lady Simba loves.As a result, the entire Harvard was mobilized.Three days later, the search expanded to the surrounding areas of MIT, Boston University and Clark University.

Although the search was fruitless, more pet lovers began to share their pets in order to find like-minded pet partners.Of course, the path of pet dating has also been developed.

This was a result that Mark and Phillips did not expect at all. Although the road was a little off, they managed to get attention—and reached more than 20 registered users within half a month.

Gradually, users have discovered more and more uses of Facebook, not just posting their own life dynamics, getting more attention and comments.What's more, students from various colleges and universities have developed various groups and interest communities, which are just the first batch of basic functions of the website that Mark plans to launch.

Sharing and focusing are the two most basic functions. More combined functions are expected to be experienced by users themselves and actively demanded, rather than what is designed for the website, and users will passively use and accept it.

Once there is demand, the needed functions will be expected more and more.

The popularity of "Simba who lovesickly" has not been pushed down, and everyone suddenly found a new user who became popular almost overnight, because his registration id is called _.Many people didn't even have time to verify whether this Landmore was the "Landmore", they just watched this user named _ go from a few followers to 3 in an instant.

Not only because he is a celebrity at MIT, but also an actor who is somewhat "unemployed".

I forgot to mention that his profile picture is a blue-eyed puppet cat standing on the cat climbing frame, licking its own pink meat pad with one paw.This well-captured photo is simply adorable and makes one's heart soften.

"It's over, the grassroots of the Harvard Faculty of Letters has lost his love."

"Call Simba, call Charles Catalanti."

"Vincent! Look at me, look at me! I like you, you are so handsome, so handsome, so charming, and your figure is awesome (omit xx)"

"Male God, you also use Facebook, so I will call more friends to follow you!"

"Fini is so cute! Looking at his little pink meat pad, I can't wait to let it step on my heart (*/w╲*) Fini Fini!"

"Would Vincent be interested in joining our cat slave concentration camp?"

Launched in mid-April, until the end of May, Facebook has more than 60 registered users, 90% of them are students from various universities, and the remaining 10% are incidental users around the university town, just like yours People around you talk about the same topic every day, but you can’t blend in because you don’t know it. In order to better keep up with the trend and communicate, these people will choose to join this big network together.

In one and a half months, nearly 65 new users have been added, which has far exceeded the expectations of Mark and Philips. Vincent is calmly preparing contacts, and their team needs to be further improved—the three founders Although people can take on multiple roles, it is more appropriate for professionals to do different parts.

With the increase of applications added on the webpage and the increase of user traffic, they are faced with a bigger problem-the server is difficult to support such a huge calculation and running speed.

The job Vincent asked Frank to find before also had some clues. He looked at his two friends, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Perhaps, we should move to a decent office building, and the computer room can no longer meet the requirements." As it stands now, although it takes up the entire basement, it’s really not big enough.”

Mark was still silent, and Philip quickly checked the market rental price of the office building at the address given by Vincent, and was already calculating how much space could be rented with the current working capital.

"Maybe we should really move." Mark murmured, looking at the constantly changing data on several screens.

"We should be glad we still have enough money, Vincent, for your hard-earned film salary, we will use every dollar where it should go." Philips closed his notebook and spoke with difficulty, " When he was young, I worried about whether he would grow up well; now that more and more people use Facebook, I worry more and more."

"Everything is going to work out for the better."

Mark spoke slowly but firmly, "It's time for us to recruit some necessary assistants."

The popularity of k has spread all the way from Massachusetts to California. When Vincent rushed back from school to Los Angeles to reshoot the last shot of "To Cover Up", he found that almost everyone around him was using k. Anyone who didn't play seemed to be using k. It's like being left behind by fashion.

"I registered an account quietly, Vincent will pay attention to me later!" When Martin Scorsese also said the same, Vincent shook his head slowly and incredulously, "Martin, I see that you have dark circles under your eyes recently. Somewhat heavy."

Martin shook his head enthusiastically, "No, no, no, I just joined a group created by a group of boys. They share some good materials every day. They are all talented children who love photography and filming."

"Of course, I still have a tuba, let's poke each other later~" Martin blinked cutely as he said.

Who would have known that what is now pure poke would later develop into an insinuation of filth.

The frenzy of k came suddenly and aggressively, and it was easily loved by young people. The hot website that spread from among college students had already successfully climbed to the top of the Google search rankings several times when summer came.

Coupled with the operation and promotion of Facebook's newly established public relations team, the registration and joining of some celebrity users also brought in a large number of fan traffic.The new social networking site has opened up a new way of life for people. Although the main proportion of these registered users is still college students, the latest analysis of user composition shows that this proportion is much lower than that at the beginning of the launch.

Frank watched the two talking, and silently checked Facebook with his mobile phone. He is also a person who follows the trend, okay?

"I also followed up the whole process of editing this time. Of course, it will be a work that will satisfy everyone." Martin reached out and rubbed his eyes, yawned, and glanced at Vincent, who was still full of energy. "Young people are different. Thanks to you, I persuaded that brat Leo to lose weight. I don't want to endure his three-month self-abuse to lose weight again. He has really gone crazy recently..."

Vincent raised his eyebrows. He obviously didn't expect that Martin would suddenly change the subject even though they were having a good time chatting about the movie.

"Vincent, I hope you are a special case." Martin patted the young man on the shoulder, "I also believe that you can do it. Some people are used to being free and loose and need personal restraint. But some people seem to be self-disciplined To the extreme, there is a great need for freedom in the heart. Since you are a free bird, don't let the scenery on the ground become a hindrance for you to fly to a high place."

"Of course I am free. It's like when I want to be an actor, I will try my best to play another person's life in front of the camera. When I want to return to myself, I can be whatever I want to be. A kind of person." Vincent looked at Martin, "Martin, Oscar is not something far away, when I think I am not enough, it is probably tens of millions of light-years away from me; when I have When I'm confident enough, I can reach out and grab—"

How confident and optimistic is this, and how naive and idealistic?

Martin laughed loudly: "It's good to think so. I'm just afraid that you will be like Leo in the future. If such a handsome face becomes rough and crippled, let alone others, I will be sad to death. I'm still waiting Let's get Leo the statuette first, and he will be mad at him! Haha!"

Hollywood Diary (37)

Blonde hair and blue eyes is like blonde hair and blue eyes. This image is popular in Hollywood, but not so popular.

The audience will love it, but the film critics, the academy judges, the great artists will regret that blonde hair and blue eyes ruin a work of art.

Is this not prejudice?

Martin had recently switched careers as a counselor, and I could see that he was already trying to "coax" an "overage child," even fearing that I would follow in my footsteps.

I want to say: fuck him Leonardo, his exception does not represent all blondes and blue eyes! !
