Facebook may be like the Macintosh computer before desktop publishing. You may be not old enough to remember when the Macintosh was really just a toy, but it was. Don't count Facebook out yet, a killer application may just change the entire story. In fact, I am trying to build a killer application for it myself, one that takes it out of being just a game and provides a real reason for real people to use it every day. I've been working on my program for a long time, and if successful, it could change how some people perceive facebook No, it is not a 'Bit by a Vampire' applet! Even more interesting,there are probably 100s of other people just like me trying to do the same thing, find a way to leverage what is cool about facebook and make it a productive environment. Sure Facebook is Doomed, just like Apple has been doomed almost every year it has ever been around. :-) At least, that is what I hope.
"No, it is not a 'Bit by a Vampire' applet!"
Oh, god, that's a relief. Facebook has enough of those. :)
Anyway, that's pretty much what I meant with my Emacs-ish response. It's a powerful platform, but people haven't really figured out what to do with it beyond small games and hundreds of friend invites.
Good luck with your app - I'd love to see it when/if you release it.

Why would she take him to court over a friend request?
That, too, is why I tend to agree with all the 'FACEBOOK IS DOOMED!!!' articles too. Facebook, while being a pretty good web OS and development platform, lacks a decent social networking application. (Facebook itself, after a while, begins to seem very superficial and useless.)
