    Possibly it might work if it's a very camp, over the top musical!

    Sorkin's specialty seems to be drama set in an office environment. I don't see why an office of a social networking site would be impossible.

    i think something along the lines of a spoof of /what the bleep do we know/ would work. ...joe fills out his profile...looking for anything he can get... bouncy balls representing his pals start coalescing around him. vampire teeth...

    I don't know whether you saw "Startup.com" (the movie) but a similar movie about Facebook could be interesting.

    Maybe they should go at it "Pirates of Silicon Valley" style with Myspace vs. Facebook. There's at least a LITTLE substance there. I don't think I'd watch a Facebook movie. Maybe they should make it "Facebook on Ice". That'd be fun ;)

    Loving "Facebook on Ice"...definitely needs to have some ludicrousness about it. Or go for a nerdy comedy angle like 'The IT Crowd'

    Subject doesn't matter, it'll stink if it's Sorkin, and the same folks will watch it and praise it as unrecognized genius. Oh, the snappy dialogue, please let it be true.

    I think that if a movie was to be made, whether it was accurate or not, it would certainly increase awareness about social networking sites on the Internet. It might encourage people to make more connections over the web. Businesses that advertise on the Internet would certainly benefit from this attention.

    You're thinking too narrow. Here's the pitch:
    People meet online via unlikely connections, then hook up in real life. Hilarity, romance ensues. New characters every week, with some "connector" as the central person who keeps it all together.

    Where's my #$*^ agent?
