Now club-goers can combine their physical and virtual interactions at the new Facebook club that recently opened its doors in the Amazon region in Brazil.
The club, located in Epitaciolândia, a small town on Brazil’s border with Bolivia, was conceptualised by 30 year old Brazilian businessman Humbert Camacho. During a visit to the club, Camacho told the Guardian that “The Facebook concept is about sharing ideas, adventures, friendships, parties and photos with your friends. So what we wanted to do was to build a nightclub with this concept, where people could come and share things with their friends, spend a cool night, sharing pictures, experiences and have fun.”
Camacho’s timing couldn’t be better as Facebook recently overtook Google“˜s Orkut as the most popular social networking site in Brazil.
For people who cannot be at the nightclub, it will have its own official Facebook page were others can join the party virtually and share in the videos and pictures being uploaded in real time by those who are experiencing it.
While Facebook said it had no official comment on the nightclub a spokesperson expressed surprise at its existence saying “Is it really in the Amazon?”
