This is all bunk now because Facebook has lost five senior execs in the past month and is now far from the hottest thing around. It’s hard to maintain a business model on close to 0$ in revenues, although MySpace did it well until bought out….

[...] Techcrunch reports that Google employees are switching over to Facebook at ‘an alarming rate’. Gideon Yu and Benjamin Ling already switched, and Justin Rosenstein is the latest. It seems there is something that is pulling these people away from the ‘dream job’ they once had, working for Google. It really does seem that Facebook is the new Google, and Google; they’re calling it the new Microsoft. I don’t know how true that is, but it does seem really harsh. Facebook rather, seems to be the young and fresh entry, which seems to have high ambitions, great energy and the ‘want’ to do something. Those are qualities every engineer and developer wants in the team he works. Justin’s e-mail shows that as fact too. What I wonder is, how much is hype and how much is true. [...]

I like Facebook although have been turned off by them lately. I also never use MySpace anymore and begin to think that this social networking – while great – is also a big waste of time. Ultimately, for all the hours spent updating a profile what do I get from it? And how quickly (yes search is the same) can I change from one site to another? A year ago we’d be arguing about how amazing MySpace is…amazing what can happen in a year. Google remains at the top and continues to expand and increase growth. Facebook has become a dominant force but lately has ran into a number of hurdles – I for one, see them as a fad; call me a skeptic, call me ignorant, but I feel they will fly high and slowly fade away.
