People get bored of looking at the same thing for too long.
The combination of HTTP, Browsers, HTML, etc provides a broad canvas for artists, designers and makers to paint on. Facebook and Twitter are trying hard to take all of these amazing experiences, content and sites and package them up into a wall post or tweet. This is going to get boring for the majority of users and another solution for finding great content will catch our collective interest.
- lmm 14y agoI found the greatest advantage of facebook - particularly in contrast to myspace - was that it presented the same set of information consistently. No personalized theme, no background music - everyone's page looks the same, which makes it so much easier to see the content (which is what's important). The rest of the web can look like an explosion in a paint factory by comparison. If anything I think the greatest counter is the rise of twitter bootstrap, giving lots of content across the rest of the web a minimal, consistent look.
