I just hope the German translation will bring more Germans to facebook. It's far superior to StudiVZ, leave alone MySpace.

Facebook has a very different approach than Myspace. Facebook does not need local feet on the street (yet) to cover local bands since their DNA is not music (like Myspace). This allows facebook to operate in a leaner fashion. More power to all the crowdsourcer's that stepped up and helped facebook do this translation/localization in record time. Cheers! Rodney Rumford Mike,
