And hang it on the wall.
Kevin Briody on Facebook’s move to open its network to anyone:
This is a bad idea. A classic example of inappropriately twisting a business model to justify investor demands and market expectations.
Amen.
It’s another example of the completely out of whack scale (or lack thereof) in the Web 2.0 space. Facebook gained a big advantage, a huge mindshare and an identity apart from the “me too” of social networking by doing one thing very, very well- connecting college students.
Facebook is now willing to toss away much of that advantage by opening its gates to everyone in a silly attempt to be MySpace.
One day someone is going to make descisions based on something other than trying to squeeze the last dollar from the mythical Web 2.0 buyer.
When that happens, it will be time to needlepoint again.
