Vote on Some Hotties with Miss Facebook
Facebook oh facebook, oh how much we love you. No, seriously, us college students really do love facebook. It’s simple, to-the-point, easy to use, and has a ridiculous following of loyal college students around the world. It’s truly an impressive service that isn’t going to be slowing down anytime soon.
It’s only natural that we’ll start to see spin-off sites such as Miss Facebook that will attempt to piggyback the success of facebook. Look at what’s happening with Myspace: there are a billion services that are directly built around it and almost everyday we’re hearing about more ways to incorporate new widgets into the Myspace platform. It’s only natural that the pro-facebook entrepreneurs will start to create similar services.
Harvard Junior and company founder, Daniel Wallace, stated:
MissFacebook is an entertainment-based site built using Ning.com that lets users vote on head-to-head duels between competing girl pictures. These pics are meant to be facebook-style headshots, hence the name “MissFacebook.”
The idea was mostly spawned by the hundreds of facebook groups called things like “The Absolute Hottest People of Facebook” and so on. We figured there could be a fun way to democratize the process. We let girls submit pics to enter the competition, and they can always request to have their picture taken off by emailing us at missfacebook@yahoo.com
Miss Facebook is a simple – possibly too simple – service that allows students (or by the looks of it, anyone) to vote on the hottest girl via various “duels.” Built using the Ning social networking software, the functionality of the service isn’t that great but I think that they’re off to a cool start — something that has potential, indeed.
It’s just the beginning for these facebook-ish sites to stake their claim on the net. If a few of them are able to succeed, then it’s just a matter of time before we see entire networks built around the fame of facebook. It’s great, because if anyone can make it happen, it’s going to be the college students who are using facebook every day to connect to their friends and classmates.
