Lol @ Facebook

Facebook has a fantastic potential but from what I've seen of Zuck, I don't think they're going to take full advantage of it.

The movie nailed it frankly.

The appeal of facebook was to the consumer- its sleek and minimalist front end.
to the investor/advisor- its up and coming underdog status

And now its an add infested nightmare held by one of the earth's great corporations.

There's a reason why dot-com's keep bursting. The only edge they have over their competitors in a market with nearly no barrier to entry is their aesthetic appeal. Most are functionally near identical in their products.

Soon as a 'hip' competitor reaches critical mass, its done.

I actually own and run a web development company.

I assure you social networks aren't going anywhere

what you are seeing what we do a lot of and what people are starting to gravitate to, is niche based social networks. Not general networks like facebook. this is going to be the next thing.
