What are you looking to build/make? If you want professional architecture Autodesk Revit is the best for this. If you want quick and dirty modeling, even for products, use google sketchup! There are a lot of product designs that have been d

The only real pivot that I can see being a true revolution is if FB takes on Amazon and starts selling stuff to its users through an internal facebook store apps - and gives FB users a discount to the purchase of said items.

HIDEOUS. The 'Get Started' image is not a link. There are no screenshots, or any succinct descriptions of what it does. Additionally, due to this, and using the name PackRati.us -- leads me to the same disorganized clutter of IRL packrats.
