The business for facebook now is to tie up a deal with MSN which shares your data with their search engine, giving highly reliable results. Whack this into facebook homepage and you've got a new startpage for your pc instead of Google! I've got dinner with Blkae Chandlee of facebook UK next Wednesday so i'll put this question to him....

Yes Facebook is great for keeping in touch with your near circle of friends. But what about those people that we're merely "aquainted" with through work or friends of friends? Surely there was reason we didn't swap phone numbers at the time - yet we allow/add them as friends on Facebook. Now we have a constant stream of information on people we didn't give two s**ts about in the first place (and usually their status updates bog down the ones we're really interested in). I agree that Facebook, like Myspace is very much an "ego toy" - congratulations, you have 266 friends to annoy the hell out of you on Facebook. Time for the great "Friends list" purge methinks!

I don't see why I should stay in contact with my school buddies, when I haven't seen them for 10 years. People evolve. Relationships too. Facebook seems like an ego toy to me. It boosts your self-esteem seeing that you have many friends. so true. I don’t see why I should stay in contact with my school buddies, when I haven’t seen them for 10 years. People evolve.
