I'm on the brink of terminating it as well. I predict these social sites become more specialized in time. For example, there's really no reason to be on FB for networking purposes if you're also on LI unless you do just want to keep the FB account to stalk girls and keep up with old friends.

In my opinion, doctors would prefer social networking sites that were just for doctors over FB, as would attorneys, as would accountants, as would homosexuals, as would members of other races, as would Christian groups, etc. This FB eutopia, if society is any model, is bound to either specialize further or see increased competition from more specialized social networking mediums, in my opinion.

The one thing that truly is amazing about FB? The ability for advertisers to reach hundreds of millions of users with such ease.

The Napster guy has this now:

quote:
Path, a new social networking startup launching today, is sort of the anti-Facebook. The big idea is that it lets you share photos (for now, more features probably coming someday) with a maximum of 50 people -- your inner circle. You can read much more about it at Path's blog. This is sort of the opposite of sharing things on Facebook. That's because Facebook is constantly pushing you to expand your friend circle and publish more stuff publicly -- trends that will likely continue as Facebook announces its email product today. Path's idea is one worth pursuing: Facebook is now -- by design -- too public for many people to share some of the stuff they'd only want to share with family and close friends.
