These things are bound to happen, as the Internet has already shown, and new memes, along with changes to the Facebook interface, will surely capture our attention.
But as the Internet goes, #ICYMI: Here's what was Generation Facebook Week.

"When Facebook first launched for college students in 2004, the site was a free-for-all, a messy but fun bacchanal that was more reactionary than prescient.
