Sometimes there are people who claim that the Facebook social network can be downloaded to the blockchain as a distributed application. They believe that the blockchain-project, which they have in their favorites, can be used to place a social network on it.
The most important thing: the delivery of messages should be instantaneous or with a reasonable delay of not more than a few seconds. What's the point in a retarded application?
At the same time, the price of each transaction (and in the case of messaging one user makes hundreds of such transactions every day) will be prohibitively high. And the whole messaging system will become useless. Recall that now the exchange of messages in Facebook and other social networks is completely free. Users are not ready to pay for messages on the Internet, this is the whole point of the Internet!
How do you like the idea? Is it real? Would you use it?
It is theoretically possible,but it's pointless.What is facebook?Well,behind the good design and various features,facebook is just lots of programming code,uploaded on lots of servers.What is the blockchain?Lots of programming code executing tasks on lots of servers.I wish that facebook would look more like Shapchat and allow messages and status updates that self-destruct after a while.This will save a lot of space.
