I could wet my pants!

I’m just so excited.

Yes, you’re witnessing the ultimate example of me geeking out…

There’s a new movie coming out this October, about Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg.

It is my belief, that when it comes to internet, internet technologies, internet revolutions, trends, web properties, businesss, successes… there is NOBODY that holds a candle to the monster that Mark Zuckerberg created.

I view Facebook as possibly the most important use of the Internet ever created.

It is a marvel.

It unites families.

Builds friendships.

And sparks off relationships and marriages.

It preserves memories.

It gives the shy bunch a way to connect and the extroverts (like me) a way to manage all their contacts.

And it’s an incredible tool for landing deals, leads, clients and business relationships.

That all barely scratches the surface.

It’s the 8th or 9th wonder of the world (or whatever we’re up to).

And as an obvious internet-business geek myself and one who is VERY FOND of the community business model and happens to be in the same age bracket as Mark… well, I’m just hopping up and down for this movie’s release.

I’m far from a movie buff but I’m addicted to base-on-a-true-story movies about interesting individuals.

TELL ME that doesn’t grip you.

And if it doesn’t, then you’re no internet nerd. (so maybe that’s a good thing).

Jesse Eisenberg plays Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Justin Timberlake is also in here.

Even the trailer’s song… what a great selection. Scala & Kolacny Brothers cover Radiohead’s blockbuster “Creep” .. which is probably the most perfect song for this.

The entire soundtrack is scored by Nine Inch Nails front man and music wizard Trent Reznor.

* But here’s the real beauty of “The Social Network”… *

It has a built in marketing-platform!!

No need to try and spin off viral buzz and facebook buzz. The “facebook wide” buzz will take care of itself organically.

This movie is a guaranteed absolute blockbuster just based on the exponential exposure and massive buzz it’s about to get.

I’d predict (and would love to see) it smash box office records.

It has the absolute potential to do just that.

Watch how the buzz will build across the land of web 2.0.

“A million dollars isn’t cool… you know what’s cool? A BILLION dollars.”

Rob “likes” this.
