It\u2019s not like their expenses are unmanageable with even a modest stream of revenue.<br><br>Their mission is - and should be - to get as many people using the site as possible and to get them deeply entrenched within the system.<br><br>The connections Facebook has assembled between people may not be perfect, but they're the best out there by a long shot. And they have more personal information about more influential and well-connected people than anyone else.<br><br>Their site is very simple - not much to complain about there. The recently released apps allow for enough customization to whet the appetites of most users (those who disagree always have Myspace, right Danah?). Besides, it\u2019s easy for Facebook to enable members to disable the visibility of profile customizations for certain members if they like \u2013 defaulting to the traditional, plain Facebook form.<br><br>The advertising will certainly come, and it will be as contextual as it gets - it will be the first truly personally-targeted advertising service, combining geographic, social and personal (user-inputted) information that will allow them to build near-perfect profiles of members that provide sufficient information.<br><br>They will be able to (if they don't already) conduct passive observations to determine which types of advertising we respond best to - for example, direct sales, product placements, sponsorships, etc.<br><br>It is coming, and if they can hold off long enough to gain that trust and build their user base, they are laughing.<br><br>This is why I hypothesized that it would take $10-50 billion to pry Facebook from Mark's hands on <a href=\"http://FacebookBlog.org\" rel=\"nofollow\">FacebookBlog.org</a> this morning.

It's almost second nature + it gives social status to be able to recommend the best and the greatest to your friends. If facebook could give me a serving of a number of chosen ads based on my profile (or even my friends' profiles) and I could choose which ads I'd like to be displayed when around my profile - this would in essence be an active endorsement of that company. The same could go, through say active voting or popularity selections, on networks (say my campus network prefers computer software ads - well then we have that).<br><br>Since it's the users producing the content - shouldn't it be the users selecting the ads?", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": false, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2007-07-13_05:42:27", "killed": false, "user_key": "d95b51b6b805c3d6915364fadfdc2cae", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": null, "votable": true, "date": "2 years ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 0, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "9685883": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "Robert<br>As an early adopter for most sites, I was trying to get on to Facebook for years. My Uni in UK was not on the list, and was not added for a couple of years after I left. So when they opened up, I was straight there. Now all those people I knew from Uni, High School, old workplaces who are all there are on it. Its great to find out what people are up to!<br><br>One thing that the FB Dev's need to do though is to create a way of segregating your friend list. For instance, I have 160 'genuine' friends on FB, but really only actually keep in touch with approx 50 of them. They should be my A friends. Another 100 are 'old' friends, and people I probably wouldn't make the effort to keep in touch with. These should be my B friends. I have added a few work colleagues. These should be my C friends. Finally, like a lot of your 2500 friends, they are just people I know online. My D friends.<br><br>Why cant the FB Dev Team create a system, where I can classify them? 'Limited Friend' is not enough. This way, my B/C/D friends do NOT see what the interaction is between my A friends and myself is.. This would then make it a lot more useful.. and private!<br><br>PS the best features of FB is planning nights/events. Its great to see who is coming, and all the other little directions.

But all in all it seems like Facebook is going in that direction which no one really wants it to - thats what everyone feared about Google.  Your personal information on the net, well someday it\'s going to happen we all know that. Think about it for second, how much time did you spend going  through each one of your profiles to see what each one likes and doesnt? It is interesting to see how peoples social habits are developing.  But personally Facebook\'s logic behind adverstising is bull, just for the sake of making money you dont need to open up your platform for adverstising. I\'m sure they can come up with a better plan other than revealing every single toom and dicks personal information...just some thoughts..</div>\

I\'ve sat in meetings where it has been discussed as a marketing tool; "how do we use facebook for this... we can create a profile and an application..." yawn... I\'m already thinking about my exit strategy...<br>After a while a lot of people just drop off and then your contact list becomes irrelevant. I\'m sure if you are over there in silicon valley etc, than this might be different, but not for most other industries in the rest of the world.<br>Eventually you network becomes suspect, because it becomes apparent that you don\'t actually know all these people. Again, I\'m sure there are exceptions to that rule.<br>The applications stuff is great because that what moves it from linkedin to myspace... but as you say, so many of those apps are a bunch or arse.<br>It is too america centric when it comes to networks. I can create a new area network, but then I become the only lame member in a group - no one wants to go first!<br>And advertising.... there has to be a better way. As a user and consumer I don\'t want to see targeted advertising, because I don\'t want to see any advertising. As soon as visiting a friends profile starts to advertise to me directly, I\'m out of there...</div>\

Most of them seem like marketing tools like the guy mentioned, or are amateurish hacks that college kids have thrown together in their (ample) spare time.    I was just talking about this at lunch, and if they were to do as you say and create a targeted advertising platform with a revenue sharing model for the application developers, this would be a different ball game.  As it is right now, adwords and other mechanisms are pretty effectively blocked, leaving web developers many less attractive options for creating a revenue stream from their application.   As a developer with a good idea (I think) for a social networking application, I would share some of the advertising revenue I would generate with a good application on their platform.  Right now they\'ve locked their advertising stream in place, but with more users and more usage driven by better applications they would essentially grow the pie.</div>\

It would be too intrusive and would cause too many privacy issues.<br><br>They really don\'t need cash - they have it both from their current ad sales and from their VCs. It’s not like their expenses are unmanageable with even a modest stream of revenue.<br><br>Their mission is - and should be - to get as many people using the site as possible and to get them deeply entrenched within the system.<br><br>The connections Facebook has assembled between people may not be perfect, but they\'re the best out there by a long shot. And they have more personal information about more influential and well-connected people than anyone else.<br><br>Their site is very simple - not much to complain about there. The recently released apps allow for enough customization to whet the appetites of most users (those who disagree always have Myspace, right Danah?). Besides, it’s easy for Facebook to enable members to disable the visibility of profile customizations for certain members if they like – defaulting to the traditional, plain Facebook form.<br><br>The advertising will certainly come, and it will be as contextual as it gets - it will be the first truly personally-targeted advertising service, combining geographic, social and personal (user-inputted) information that will allow them to build near-perfect profiles of members that provide sufficient information.<br><br>They will be able to (if they don\'t already) conduct passive observations to determine which types of advertising we respond best to - for example, direct sales, product placements, sponsorships, etc.<br><br>It is coming, and if they can hold off long enough to gain that trust and build their user base, they are laughing.<br><br>This is why I hypothesized that it would take $10-50 billion to pry Facebook from Mark\'s hands on <a href="http://FacebookBlog.org" rel="nofollow">FacebookBlog.org</a> this morning. Trust me, if I know the potential, he sure as hell knows it too.<br><br>The system they have developed is nearly perfect, and their rapid response to issues that are raised by bloggers like you and me is as good an indication as you can get that they will be very mindful of members and will ensure they don’t drive members away.<br><br>I think the F8 launch got a little out of control and took off faster than they anticipated, but they handled it well and I believe they will handle future challenges as well or better.<br><br>There are certainly issues to work out with the app platform – some type of design/quality standards probably would have been nice. But they can be added. And it’s inevitable that as time goes by, the worst apps will fade away and those that are truly useful will bubble to the surface.<br><br>There will likely be other privacy issues to deal with, but the solution to that problem is easy as well – provide users with more control. So far, they have been excellent about doing that.<br>Considering that Zuckerberg is 23, he\'s doing an incredible job.<br><br>I\'d like to find out if the speculation about IPO plans turns out to be correct. Time will tell.<br><br>If so, I\'d expect to see it happen in an innovative way - more so than Google\'s Dutch auction approach even. They could setup their own exchange, create credit systems, anything really. The sky’s the limit if you’re willing to move offshore.<br><br>I could expound further, but that\'s why I have <a href="http://www.facebookblog.org" rel="nofollow">www.facebookblog.org</a>. :)<br><br>- Colin</div>\

I\'m looking for the one that says, "Used to hang out at LZ Premiums and bought a really great Bogen tripod from you." Where is *that* checkbox?<br><br>I just got an "add friend" request from a buddy of mine, and none of the boxes had anything to do with how I know him either. So I didn\'t check any of them, and just looked for *something* I could click. Found it and clicked it, but then realized I\'d clicked the "Request confirmation" button by mistake. Confirm what? I didn\'t click any checkboxes.<br><br>This "add friend" interface is so confusing. It took me a while to realize the whole confirmation business was optional, and "Skip this step" is usually what I want. At first I\'d figured that "Skip this step" meant that it wouldn\'t add my friend at all. Wrong! But where on the page does it explain *any* of this?

Once they opened registration to everyone, the sudden influx of new users simply pushed the network past the realm of tech-savvy college kids, and into the mainstream.  My ex-girlfriend was suddenly being added by people from high-school that she hadn\'t spoken to in over ten years, who now live half a planet away!  I was made aware that there was an informal high-school reunion because someone found me through Facebook; this would never have happened otherwise.<br><br>There\'s more to Facebook than the things you can do while on the site: its impact extends far beyond its own digital platform and reaches right into your daily life.  And it does this simply because of one thing: "Everyone Is On Facebook."<br><br>Of course there\'s more to it than that.  Even if you manage to attract millions of users, you can still screw up if you don\'t execute perfectly.  But Facebook doesn\'t have this problem.  Everything it does, it does perfectly, from privacy control to an intuitive navigation.  If there was one thing I would change, is to implement some sort of filter to get rid of all the recent Application noise.</div>\

I think it\'s great that you can see when people remove apps but maybe we shouldn\'t be told when people change their personal information.

It\'s the person\'s choice to publish the information, sure, but it seemed a bit insensitive to display it alongside people removing the Zombies app, or whatever.

I think that one thing that you touched upon and that some of the commenters discussed which I think would be a great way of doing this is through endorsements.<br><br>I think that for me, and most of the people in my age (20-30) at least, we like to endorse products and talk about them to our friends. It\'s almost second nature + it gives social status to be able to recommend the best and the greatest to your friends. If facebook could give me a serving of a number of chosen ads based on my profile (or even my friends\' profiles) and I could choose which ads I\'d like to be displayed when around my profile - this would in essence be an active endorsement of that company. The same could go, through say active voting or popularity selections, on networks (say my campus network prefers computer software ads - well then we have that).<br><br>Since it\'s the users producing the content - shouldn\'t it be the users selecting the ads?</div>\

My Uni in UK was not on the list, and was not added for a couple of years after I left. So when they opened up, I was straight there. Now all those people I knew from Uni, High School, old workplaces who are all there are on it. Its great to find out what people are up to!<br><br>One thing that the FB Dev\'s need to do though is to create a way of segregating your friend list. For instance, I have 160 \'genuine\' friends on FB, but really only actually keep in touch with approx 50 of them. They should be my A friends. Another 100 are \'old\' friends, and people I probably wouldn\'t make the effort to keep in touch with. These should be my B friends. I have added a few work colleagues. These should be my C friends. Finally, like a lot of your 2500 friends, they are just people I know online. My D friends.<br><br>Why cant the FB Dev Team create a system, where I can classify them? \'Limited Friend\' is not enough. This way, my B/C/D friends do NOT see what the interaction is between my A friends and myself is.. This would then make it a lot more useful.. and private!<br><br>PS the best features of FB is planning nights/events. Its great to see who is coming, and all the other little directions. Also after, people can share the photos with those who came along!</div>\

I don\'t even live anywhere near the place I studied anymore.<br><br>It was probably easier for FB to find advertisers that wanted to advertise to specific networks, but it would have been much better if they had an internal \'adwords-type\' system. (bidding on keywords, narrow down on location/demographics, ads delivered based on content of each user\'s profile etc).<br><br>then again they might have that already and i haven\'t even realised! :-)</div>\

I\'ve got a few more contacts at LinkedIn so far but I expect that to change and I really see no value to me with LinkedIn.  If I ever needed a job or something, maybe professionally, LinkedIn could be there for me, but like you, I don\'t care where people work or where they came from.<br><br>I enjoy the personal side of FaceBook, it\'s more interesting and more relevant to keeping up with some people.<br><br>So, for now, FaceBook is the place to be but it will be interesting to see if it has holding power or if it will just fade into the social networking night.</div>\
