A friend of mine is considering the merits of his mum joining Facebook.
Other friends have put their cats onto Catbook or dogs onto Dogbook, both of which are Facebook applications.
Others have put their babies on Babybook.
I can’t see the benefit of Catbook, Dogbook or Babybook, but I can see the benefit of my mum joining Facebook. I can see downsides too though.
If I mum were on Facebook I might tone down some of my content. I might mind my language a bit and I might moderate my friend’s comments. But other than those small inconveniences it would be great to keep in touch using something so easy.
Trouble is, my mum can’t join Facebook because she isn’t around anymore. So this got me thinking. Do you think there’d be a receptive market for a new Facebook application: Deadbook?
