In celebration of Facebooks 12th birthday, and the vise-like grip it now has on all our lives, were revisiting some of our stories from the early days of the social network.
In 2007, we wrote about how the presidential candidates were starting to use Facebook in their campaigns.Illinois Senator Barack Obama had a paltry 167,000 Facebook followers (he now has almost 47 million). Remarkably, his favorite quote (The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice) is still misattributed to MLK today, just as it was back thenabolitionist Theodore Parker is the correct source.
Hillary Clintons page was a total bust, with zero Facebook-specific contentno favorite books, no quotes, no personality. We called it the sort of profile you see fromordinary users who are required to register with Facebook for work but never bother logging in. Poor Hillaryshe totally couldve won in 2008, if shed just listed her favorite novels.
Other gems: Mitt Romneys profile picture featured him lookingrugged in front of an out-of-focus fern; John Edwards hadnt yet grasped how to post coherent updates (As a Senator, I stood up for you. Currently fighting poverty. Go Tar Heels!); and Dennis Kucinich listed 13 items under Interests, 2 of which were his wife, Elizabeth.
