"I wish you a merry Christmas, I wish you a merry Christmas, I wish you a merry Christmas and an happy new year". I hope everybody know that famous song. Christmas means gifts and gifts means that you have to know what to offer. Facebook offers now a new way to know what friends are expecting concerning gifts.
It seems to be good news but I guess that behind the pleasure, there is a business. Actually, this new concept supported by the facebook Platform permits people to suggest new gifts to someone. So, that means for me that this business push people to buy more and more. Normally, I totally agree this kind of business but, nowadays, I feel ironic trying to buy more and more considering that we have less and less money.
I have to say that this business is new example of the power of Facebook. At the beginning, Facebook was used to share personal information and the main goal was only to know if somebody was single or engaged. Now, Facebook permit people to offer gifts and to suggest special gifts according to the personality.
I’m feeling sad because we are never using this kind of technology to create a real “social” platform. Can we imagine a new social media that permit to help people who really need help? I agree that kind of business is not a moneymaker one but this idea will permit to discover a new way to offer gifts. I definitely think that gift lists of poor people are less long compared to ours and I am definitely sure that those gifts in the list will be more useful than ours. I hope to see this kind of business one day on Facebook.
I wish you a merry Christmas and an happy new year.
