Don't you hate it when news completly obliterates an opinion taken on a previous post? I, like everyone else, feel compelled to post about the latest Facebook announcements. As astute readers will note, in previous posts, I thought the old school social netorking sites would play out, in favor of more vertical based sites. Facebook has essentially leapfrogged that position by offering itself as the Internet's "social-networking platform." Any site can take on this functionality. This, I get! Also by allowing a more open, yet controlled platform, its users have more power to create their own experience through partnerships and mashups. These guys are pretty amazing. I vow today to bow down to the Zuckerburg Gods. But again I ask....won't these users want to keep some of this amazing content offline?
