Facebook has become really popular. Now a time will come, when people will be known by their facebook profiles.

Facebook really seems to be getting really popular these days, even the Singapore govt is starting to use it as a platform for getting feedback from citizens.

i also have the problem with them retaining and sharing personal info. and with people spending more thant 30% of their worktime on FB, no wonder its getting blocked – but thats what proxy sites are for i guess.

My main issue with facebook is that they retain your information even after you deactivate your account. Its never actually deleted from their servers.

This is very good step from facebook, as everybody now can develop facebook applications, so facebook will become more and more popular.
This is the way, how you can plan something from beginning. They used myspace experiance, and implemented into their technology.
Lets see what myspace will offer?

You mentioned in your post that Â“developers now have the ability to customize Facebook.Â” Another interesting dynamic is that 3rd parties are able to extend what developers can do beyond what Facebook itself offers Â– Microsoft now offers two different tools.

The first may be particularly relevant to professional/ Enterprise developers: the Facebook Toolkit wraps the Facebook API into a .NET managed component; developers now will be able to drag Â‘and drop a Facebook component onto the component tray in Visual C# Express , Visual Basic Express and Visual Web Developer IDEs (http://www.codeplex.com/FacebookToolkit).

The second may extend who can take advantage of the Facebook APIs Â– Popfly is a project to enable new / non- programmers to participate in Â‘Web 2.0Â’ as creators, not just consumers – users who have little to no development experience can create simple quick mash-ups with the Facebook block in Popfly (http://www.popfly.ms/Overview/Default.asp).

I will pass any interesting examples of folks using these that I find along!

I think too many social networking like My space and facebook in is only one of them.. The plus point is they bulid the seperate network.

This is a wonderful debate: Does Facebook has a place on the company? YES. This could be used as a Portal, like an Intranet for the employees, not only to gosip, but also to make serious announces and invite groups to meetings.

If you force me a little, I can see some applications like BaseCamp running inside on Facebook.
