Strabane’s Alley Theatre is leading the birthday congratulations to one of the worlds largest social networking sites, namely Facebook, who are celebrating their 5th birthday this year. The popular North West arts venue has capitalized on the growth of this fantastic social networking site, developing “The Alley Theatre Facebook page”, which is now officially one of the largest theatre Facebook pages in existence within Northern Ireland.Facebook is now a world leading company, however it beginnings are far removed from the world of big business. Created in the dorm rooms of Harvard University, student Mark Zuckerberg designed this revolutionary site so he could keep in touch with his friends. From those humble beginnings, Facebook is now a world leader on the internet, with over 150 million users worldwide.
The Facebook “phenomenon” knows no boundaries in its ever increasing presence on the web, and has now even reached Strabane and the patrons of the Alley Theatre Strabane. "Facebook and other social network sites are practically still in their infancy” commented Nathan Flatman, Marketing officer for the Alley Theatre, “In the future, sites like Facebook and Twitter will be essential sites for internet users to visit, allowing them to keep in touch with friends, family and colleagues who are based not just regionally, but internationally. I speak to friends in the UK, Australia and Korea at the click of a button via Facebook and we are delighted to see the Alley Face Book Page becoming one of the most successful theatre based pages within Northern Ireland”.
At the end of 2005, Facebook expanded into the UK and Ireland, with the site now translated across 35 languages with another 60 in development. Everyday more than 15 million users update their status to tell their friends what they are doing, showing off photographs, uploading videos, chatting, making like minded friends, meet old ones, join causes, groups, and have fun.
