From September 2006

Facebook, the popular social networking site, was the frontrunner and leader in the social networking for college students for a long time.  But, given the recent controversies over the Facebook news feed and the decision to make Facebook open to to everyone, not just to college students, it seems that the site might be losing its edge to MySpace and other networks.  The pattern of events in the Facebook world recently is such that it seems like Mark Zuckerberg is writing a "How To" book about ruining social networking sites.

oh yeah, there's more :)

So what's next, Mark?  Got any other brilliant ideas up your sleeve?  Maybe you could charge people to sign up for a Facebook account.  Or sell email addresses to spammers.  Perhaps you would like to make a database of embarrassing information and use it to ruin the job interviews and careers of college kids everywhere?  Well, it seems like you're already attempting to sabotage your Facebook creation that became so popular, so why not?

chuckling yet?

With the simplicity and privacy of the orignial Facebook gone, will college students turn to other social networking sites for their procrastination hours?  MySpace is already widely used, and enables people to upload and share videos, something Facebook never did in the first place.  And CNet blogger Zoe Slocum points out a couple of new up-and-coming social networking sites that have unique offerings for their college audiences.  CollegeHotList.com and College Tonight both offer social networking plus the ability for students and alumni to rate things from local bars and restaurants to frat parties, and yes, even how other people look.  College Tonight also boasts a section specifically dedicated to spreading rumors.  What does Facebook have on these sites?  I can't think of a thing.

Looking to sabotage a social networking dynasty?  Just ask Mark Zuckerberg for some advice.

I already knew Bill loved to cruise CollegeHotList. I think he was the founding member. ::)

It's a lesson for all the snarky old critics versus people who actually, you know....CREATE things.
