I recently read an article announcing that FB will be adding a music platform to their service. At the end of the article I said to Nick who was sitting across from me on another couch, “Think back to your 1998 self. I’m going to read four sentences to you. Think back to 1998 and try to think what your response would be if I read this to you back then.”

Facebook and Apple butted heads after Apple’s music event last year, when Apple rolled launched its Ping social network. Ping included Facebook integration, but without Facebook’s blessing. Apple removed tight Facebook integration from Ping, and has since partnered more closely with Twitter, a rival social utility.

The social media jargon has gotten so intertwined in my news that I can not remember a time when it didn’t make sense to me.

Nick, on the other hand, says, “I probably would’ve asked, ‘What the eff is a TWITTER?'”
