time to face th facts. facebook was created for college students but now its primarily for kids and kdis will become its main focus. 5th graders are widely using facebook now and when kids and high schoolers use it theyre using it like we used aim. They are always on it and hold 95 comment conversations on a regular basis. Their walls have things from this morning at the bottom of them.

They bring the traffic. They look at the ads and they will be the focus of facebook.

To keep kids interested you have to keep adding things and keep it looking "fresh" and "hot". The simple format that appealed to college age people is a thing of the past.

ain't seen it yet


facebook has managed to be lucky enough to become ubiquitous enough that they can pull off major UI redesigns every 6-12 months without losing a major share of users


but the honest truth is, you generally aren't supposed to do shit like this. it's a REALLY good way to piss users off. if there was another worthwhile community that wasn't cobbled together with bubblegum and spit, then I'd wager you'd see users leaving FB in droves. FB has totally benefited from being the only game in town.

well, they aren't really the only game in town, are they? Maybe you meant, "FB has totally benefited from being the only best game in town."

had a great presentation given today at my company about how within the next year, facebook will be moving into e-commerce in a fast way.

Really interesting stuff.

I highly doubt it.

And usually those types of presentations are just giant circle-jerks by executives.

I remember one a number of years ago in which it was predicted that everyone would be using the "the cloud" and desktops would have vanished by now. Lame.

i like it. i never understood the live feed & news feed bullshit anyway. i've disliked it since the last time they changed their shit, now it seems a little more back to how it use to be.

I don't know how else they could introduce adult content without credit card verification.

they keep changing shit b/c it's 2010 and if you want to remain relevant on the web, you adapt quickly to changing user needs and usage patterns

good news- i got new facebook

everything is smooth except the photos tab. i haven't found an easy way to click an album; i'm looking at "recent albums" but everytime i click something, it shows just one picture (the last) of that album. in fact, one of the "recent albums" links to something uploaded in october 2009 (dakota_man this means you)

all the help is about privacy and tagging :-/
