Facebook: talk about dropping the ball!
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008 
Facebook. The future of internet. How high hopes we had. What silly amounts of money Microsoft spent.It was such a great idea. One community to rule them all and anyone can extend it with their own apps.But as always, a platform is nothing without it’s killer app. All Facebook got was a couple of stupid movie quiz and dating apps.I still think it’s a great idea in principle but the implementation has to be:
- Decentralized.
- Based on “webby” standards.
I’m thinking whoever puts together things like OpenID, hFN, hCard, plain old email and makes it work for my grand mother is on a winner.Facebook on the other hand, I have one word for you: Unsubscribe.
