[1] Facebook is the world’s largest social

network, with 800 million users worldwide as

of September 2011.

More than any other company, it has

[5] defined what …….. see as the “social’' era of

the Internet, in which connections made

among people replace algorithm-driven

searches. And its policies, more than any

others, seem to be driving the definition of

[10] privacy in this new age.

Every day, Facebook users comment or

press the “like” button more than 2 billion

times and upload more than 250 million

photos. The McKinsey Global Institute has

[15] estimated that the network’s users post 30

billion pieces of content …….. month

The company, founded in 2004 by a

Harvard sophomore, Mark Zuckerberg, began

life catering first to Harvard students and then

[20] to all high school and college students. It has

since evolved into a broadly popular online

destination used by teenagers and adults of

all ages. In country after country, Facebook

has cemented itself as the leader, often

[25] displacing other social networks.

It is …….. surprise that Facebook has

become one of the titans of the Internet,

challenging even Google with its vision of a

Web tied together by personal relationships

[30] and recommendations, rather than by search

algorithms. In a major expansion, Facebook

has spread itself across other Web sites by

offering members the chance to “Like”

something — share it with their network —

[35] without leaving the Web page they are on.

At the Facebook developer conference in

September, the company announced the

release of a product called Timeline, which

offers a highly visual view of a user’s

[40] Facebook profile and organizes content into

photos, events and apps, all based on a

timeline view that stretches back to the

beginning of a user’s time on Facebook.

Timeline is designed to work on mobile

[45] devices, too.

Texto original

[1] My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;

Coral is far more red than her lips' red;

If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;

If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head;

[5] I have seen roses damask’d, red and white,

But no such roses see I in her cheeks;

And in some perfumes is there more delight

Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks:

I love to hear her speak, yet well I know

[10] That music hath a far more pleasing sound;

I grant I never saw a goddess go;

My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.

And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare

As any she belied with false compare.

Paráfrase

My mistress's eyes are nothing like the sun;

Coral is far more red than her lips;

If snow is white, then her breasts are a brownish gray;

If hairs are like wires, hers are black and not golden.

I have seen damask roses, red and white [streaked],

But I do not see such colors in her cheeks;

And some perfumes give more delight

Than the horrid breath of my mistress.

I love to hear her speak, but I know

That music has a more pleasing sound.

I've never seen a goddess walk;

But I know that my mistress walks only on the ground.

And yet I think my love as rare

As any woman who has been misrepresented by

[ridiculous comparisons.
