Comparison Facebook and Tipping Point

I read A LOT of facebook profiles. To compare this to Malcolm Gladwell is hard to do! They are both similar because he is expressing his opinion and people do that on their Facebook pages. They are totally opposite because Facebook doesn't necessarily tell a complete story. You can get parts of a person's life by looking at their page but often the whole story doesn't come out. In Gladwell's book, he uses facts and statistics to prove the points he is making, and the entire "story" he is trying to tell is within the pages of his book. Sometimes, with Facebook you need to look at other peoples pages to get the whole story, and even then, you don't know what is going on in other people's lives!
