Sure, although, there is one thing that bothers me, Facebook reaches so many people so quickly that even reasonably big companies now use a Facebook page instead of a website. There is something intrinsically wrong with this, because Facebook cannot (hopefully) become a synonym of internet. I'm cool with iPad apps, with iPhone apps and Android apps, but stopping using websites and just focus on Facebook apps seems to be a false step, maybe good for now, but not very envisioning. Unless... ...unless Facebook starts mutating towards an actual product. To be clear like the blackberry with the old blackberry chat, you'll buy one (of the many) Facebook things, like a Facebook pad, and you'll have your Facebook OS with all the Facebook apps running on it. And I think this is the direction they are headed to... but still, they can't take down the house (the whole world), sooner or later something else will need to put some checks and balances. They can't become infinitely rich, I don't think the market and the planet will allow it. They can be a little dominant, but not like emperor dominant. Plus, it's still a website based on participation, if the people get bored or there is some wikileaks kinda breach (think of some crazy attempt to make public all the private messages and pictures on a mirror evil site), many many users could leave is a second... (although ultimately we are just going to be forced to redefine what we consider privacy, in general, not just in this unlikely case) |
