Argumento y comentario
La película narra la vertiginosa creación de Facebook, desde las habitaciones de Harvard hasta los tribunales de California. No es solo una historia sobre código y negocios; es una tragedia moderna sobre la amistad, la traición y la ironía de que el hombre que conectó al mundo entero fuera incapaz de conectar con las personas de su entorno cercano.
Con un guion afiladísimo de Aaron Sorkin, la película se siente como una ráfaga de diálogos brillantes. Es fascinante cómo David Fincher logra que una historia de juicios y programación sea tan emocionante como una película de acción. La música de Trent Reznor y Atticus Ross termina de darle esa atmósfera tensa y fría que define la personalidad de su protagonista, Mark Zuckerberg.

Tal día como hoy «Mark Zuckerberg lanza Facebook (entonces TheFacebook.com).»
Un día como hoy, pero de 2004, Mark Zuckerberg (junto a sus compañeros Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz y Chris Hughes) lanzaba TheFacebook desde su dormitorio en Harvard.
Es fascinante pensar que lo que empezó como un directorio exclusivo para estudiantes de la Ivy League terminó alterando por completo la forma en que el mundo se comunica, consume información y entiende la privacidad.
Aquí tienes algunos datos curiosos de aquel inicio:
Los humildes (y polémicos) comienzos
El predecesor: Antes de Facebook existió Facemash, un sitio donde los estudiantes calificaban el atractivo de sus compañeros. Fue cerrado por la universidad, pero le dio a Zuckerberg la idea de crear un directorio social.
El dominio original: El sitio nació como thefacebook.com. No fue hasta 2005 que compraron el dominio facebook.com por 200,000 USD y eliminaron el «The».
El primer rostro: En la esquina superior izquierda de la página original aparecía una cara pixelada. Era un retrato manipulado del actor Al Pacino.
Hitos de expansión
AñoAlcance2004Solo Harvard, luego Stanford, Columbia y Yale.2005Se abre a escuelas secundarias y redes internacionales.2006Se abre al público general (cualquier persona mayor de 13 años con un email).2012La empresa sale a bolsa y alcanza los 1,000 millones de usuarios.Un legado de claroscuros
Hoy, 22 años después, la plataforma es el pilar de Meta. Aunque ha sido fundamental para conectar personas y movimientos sociales, también ha enfrentado críticas feroces por el manejo de datos (como el caso Cambridge Analytica) y su impacto en la salud mental.

Origen y propósito
La jornada fue propuesta en 2010 por Jeremiah Owyang, analista web, como día mundial para agradecer el trabajo de los community managers, bajo el hashtag #CMAD.[telefonica]
Su intención es visibilizar una profesión relativamente reciente pero clave en el marketing digital y en la relación entre marcas y comunidades online.[diainternacionalde]
The Grand Barbie Lockdown
The dust of the Outback was still settling in the tread of their tires as the 4WD screamed back toward the city skyline. It was late arvo, and the sun was a low, angry orange, mirroring the urgency in the cabin. The Three Best Friends were flat out like a lizard drinking, their laptops open on their laps, tethered to a satellite link that was barely holding on.
Chapter 5: The Grand Barbie Lockdown
“The Raven isn’t just attacking a site,” Dev shouted over the roar of the wind. “They’ve hijacked the ‘Grand Barbie’ event app. Fifty thousand people are trying to register for the raffle, and the interface is carrying on like a pork chop“.
Liam scanned the app’s homepage on his phone. It was a disaster of unnecessarily complex language. The registration instructions looked like a legal manifesto. “It’s a classic Raven move,” Liam growled. “They’re using unnecessarily technical language to confuse people, especially those with cognitive and learning disabilities”.
“Look at the registration form,” Dax added, pointing to a screenshot. “The contrast ratio between the ‘Submit’ button and the background is almost zero. Some people can’t read text if there isn’t sufficient contrast“.
The Battle of the Viewports
As they hit the city limits, the app underwent a “responsive” transformation that was actually a sabotage.
“The Raven is using media queries to break the layout on mobile devices!” Dev yelled. “On a narrow window, like a mobile phone, the primary content is disappearing into a single column that doesn’t scroll properly”.
Dev knew he had to write code that adapts to the user’s technology. He began injecting CSS to ensure the viewport size didn’t clip the content when the font size was increased. He worked to ensure the reading order in the code matched the logical flow, so when users zoomed in to 200%, the “Grand Barbie” map didn’t jump to the bottom of the page.
Meaningful Links and Hidden Traps
They arrived at the park just as the first sausages hit the barbie. Thousands of people were staring at their phones, frustrated.
“The links!” Liam cried out. “The Raven has changed all the navigation links to say ‘Click Here’ or ‘Read More’“. He knew this was ambiguous link text that provided no information for screen reader users like Lakshmi.
Liam began a rapid-fire edit of the app’s CMS. He replaced the generic text with meaningful link text that described the content of the link target.
“Click Here” became “Register for the Grand Raffle”.
“Read More” became “View Barbie Safety Guidelines”.
He even indicated the document type and size for the downloadable park map: “Park Map (PDF, 2MB)”.
The Multimedia Meltdown
On the main stage, the event organizer was giving a live-streamed speech. But the Raven had disabled the captions and transcripts.
“Dhruv and Marta can’t understand the safety announcement!” Dev said, referring to the user stories they lived by. He immediately began routing a live stenography feed into the app’s multimedia container. He ensured the captions included not just the spoken words, but also important sounds like “crowd cheering” to provide a full experience.
The Final Form
The Raven’s last stand was the raffle entry form. It was a gauntlet of unclear instructions and missing labels.
“No dramas, team,” Dax said, taking over the UI override. “I’m associating a label with every form control“. He positioned the labels adjacent to the fields, ensuring they weren’t too far away for users with low vision.
Dev ensured the labels were linked to the ID attributes of the form elements in the code. He also added clear instructions for the date of birth field, describing the required format so users didn’t get stuck in a loop of error messages.
When an error did occur, Liam made sure the error identification was prominent, using an error list, icons, and background color to help users find where the problem was. He provided specific, understandable explanations and suggested corrections
