Personal opinion is facebook has definitely over the last couple years realized they have monetize facebook.com itself to a large degree. Probably fb execs still as far as long term strategy view the 'platform' is king and not the website b

Your points are fair definitely, but for me as a developer the biggest issue with facebook was the constant breaking of 'old' APIs. Worked on a facebook app for about 5 months, had to rewrite a significant portion of the UI when a breaking

Actually, I think thats exactly the problem. There is a general perception based on anecdotal experience, followed by a non rigorous 'scientific' data 'experiment', followed by analysis of results which throws out all the data which disagre

Why is this a good thing? Not being snarky, just seems i am missing something. Whats the big win about 'no email'? seems like they use plenty of electronic communication.

Hey, someone explain to me what happened here... seems like twitter bought Posterous to shut it down, and the founders took the money and basically started the same product with a new name and a pay model.
