    facebook also fucks up ur girl situation if your gettn with a few girls at once, any one of them can jus check ur facebook and ther might be a picture or some other girl commenting n ur fucked.  some of my friends alredy deactivated for that reason

    facebook isnt' going anywhere cause the average person doesnt think about shit like that, but once people start to realize all the above points i made you'll see facebook participation drop.  It will be gradual tho, prob over the next 3-5 years....just my .02

     

    facebook does indeed fuck up relationships.... many marriages and relationships have been broken because of this.. "ex-partners' can easily be reached interfering with new relationships by bringing up past relationships... me and my girl both have been going back in forth about having "exs" still in contact.... i stumbled across her's while it was still open and found messages going back and forth with a guy she had a past relationship with..... fucking person.

    You can't compare MySpace to Facebook. MySpace was popular with bands promoting their music and things like that. It neve caught on with the mainstream society. Now Facebook nailed it with the teens, they all use it. MySpace to Facebook is like Yahoo to Google.

    facebook will be popular until the next fad comes along. but it is amazing how many people i know of all ages that are members of facebook. people wo don't even know how to use a computer, but they can upload pics and post everything from what they ate for breakfast and how often they take a crap. i have to admit that i succumbed to the peer pressure and signed up. reconnected with guys i grew up with that i haven't seen in 20+ years. that's pretty cool.

    I actually just saw the movie, and it wasn't even Mark's idea to do advertising.  Eduardo wanted to make profits right away.  Mark just wanted this 'cool' thing to happen.  Advertising will carry them so far.  Facebook isn't a service, at least not yet.

    Zuckerberg is trying to turn facebook into the Walmart of the internet.

    The concept is good, but now it's just a matter of time before people start tricking away to the next new internet fad site.

    First it was AOL instant messenger, or even before that it was p2p chat, then came setting up your geocities website or what not, shortly after social networking sites evolved.  And now it's just a matter of time before social network sites start to become something else.  

    IMO things like Skype are going to be on the rise as the technology gets better for it.  People are already concerned over facebook's privacy so I doubt people will buy into their e-mail system (ironically shortly after myspace released their e-mail system with Google they started taking the dive).

    My girlfriend is addicted to facebook.  Quite sad really, I hate the whole 'social' networking fad.

    A cop-out to actually meeting new people face-to-face and a way for people to feed their egos and make themselves feel important.  I guess the one upside is you can find hundreds of chicks to fuck with the click on a mouse.

    Though honestly I'd rather go to a bar

    I figure it will be around for a long while though quite honestly.
