Just like someone above has just mentioned, most of the Users don’t care, as long as it works! I’m really curious to see how this will play out in the long run though. Things like security, bugs (seems like FB is crashing these days, which I don’t even remember it ever happening), Browser load etc…..

I also agree with Kyle. Hey buddie, add me as a myBlogLog friend (jk or Facebook me!

Kirkpatrick’s story on the announcement and the overall mission of Facebook nailed it.

Personally, as a Generation Yer, the story hit pretty close to home. The whole story of Facebook really defines our generation and I’m telling you first hand; the college crowd isn’t going to leave…

Like many college alums I have started to dabble in other social networks for “professionals” like LinkedIN, but Facebook keeps pulling me back. Why?

Because it’s about cultivating relationships with people I already know and have shared 3:00 a.m. bleary-eyed discussions with. Like Kirkpatrick duly noted.

Slowly after some time the college crowd will start to go back less frequently but they will still check-in from time-to-time and the next generation of college and high school students will carry the torch.

I was graduating as an undergraduate when Facebook first came to my university and it instantly took off.

The funniest thing is that the class that graduated ahead of me has no idea what the Facebook phenomenon really is.

Just one year difference and they don’t understand how closely entwined Facbook became in everyday College life.

From organizing parties & fund raisers, sharing pictures, stories, declaring relationships and viewpoints, defining myself, letting me know my friend from abroad was having their birthday, letting people know where I was; it became a daily part of my life.

In truth these days, it’s like waking up in the morning and reading an online newspaper about what is going on across your “Friend’s World.” That’s what the feeds have enabled.

Yeah, it started out as a great hook-up tool for frat brothers but it has evolved into so much more. That’s why this announcement from Zuckerberg didn’t catch me off-guard at all.

Involving your friends in everything you do online; is what Facebook has already turned into. It’s even more actually. It’s the tool to include your friends in everything you do in your life. At least in my social circles…

Facebook is going to end up being Microsoft’s best move of the decade because I truly believe Facebook will far surpass Myspace in the next couple years and become a company that is mentioned in the same breath with the likes of Yahoo! and Google.

I truly enjoyed his piece. As long as Zuckerberg doesn’t let the site become overly commercial and sticks to the mission of “growing your relationships online with old and new friends” Facebook will be the company that we are talking about in the next decade.

“I Googled it” and “I Facebooked him” will be synonymous phrases in all social circles..

Shut the Fk Up.

And the list of apps…

And the movie-based app we just built…

But, most of the Facebook users probably won’t go there, and probably won’t understand some of what’s there. There should be a for-users help section on it… They’re probably working on one, though. Maybe they’re waiting for more people to start using the Facebook Platform?

They are much more likely to appreciate the end product than the effort it would take to design something from scratch. The subset of Facebook’s users who actually do care are here and in order places where this meme has already spread.

I like to think that Facebook PR has learned from the little news feed upset of a while back, and what they have learned is that no matter how irritated users become, eventually they will get used to any change that is thrown at them.

If Facebook moves correctly (learning from the News Feed revolt), users will never hear the word “Platform”, they’ll just see all this new cool stuff they can do on the site.
