If The USA Had A Facebook Page During The Civil War
More and more people are conversing through facebook. But if you really think about it, it’s a pretty weird way to communicate. So, our intern Scott decided he’d take it upon himself to depict the entire civil war through the United States’s facebook news feed.

Scott would like to thank Sean and Peter. I don’t know who those people are, but Scott wants me to put that in there. They probably wrote this for Scott.

Ever used facebook? The updates on the feed are read from the BOTTOM UP. I wouldn’t be so pissed about this if the Facebook thing you guys did earlier didn’t have the same problem.

Too bad somebody already did this. These guys have been doing this since April ‘07.

And they’re doing a much better job at it.

WTF? Why do so many people hate this; I think it’s pretty funny. Would it really make sense to have this read from the bottom up like a real Facebook bulletin board? Seriously, not everything has to be perfect to be funny.

I am a regular user of facebook. I think there’s some error in the above displayed page.

As a non-facebook user, I could care less what it looks like. Intern Scott–super job!! I can definitely see having my h.s. history students use this idea for other historical events. Thanks for the idea!!
