Facebook is just one of those things (ie. MySpace) that will be here one day and gone the next. Just a fad. I really don't see the big deal with it.

i just have the tons of bugs if had.. i wish it was skinnable.

I agree, I think people will move on to the next big social networking site.

I think that Facebook is better off than Myspace, which seems to be heading to the edge of a cliff.

I really like facebook. It took social networking to a new level. I'm going off to college this year so it is really helping me stay in touch with all of my friends. I hope it isn't a fad because, unlike myspace, facebook isn't crap. It's an actually useful tool.

ya the one thing I like about facebook is how every profile looks the same

Get rid of those freaking applications! Ever since they opened up their API, facebook has suffered from an onslaught of useless garbage. I don't want to "Give a beer to <name>!" ESPECIALLY not when I have to install the particular application to do it. Now the pages are filled with doodles (You drew a penis... great! Really showing your maturity there! ), horoscopes, top friends, give a beer, superpoke, moods, strippers, daily bible scriptures... AND OH GODS! THE MUSIC!

Please bring back the clean, simple, useful facebook we once loved! It has now just become the next MySpace... ugh...

If you agree with me, join us in the Shun Facebook Applications group.

I can't remember where I was reading it at, but there's a group of people saying it's an FBI front for keeping tabs on people. At first I laughed then read more about it and they have legit reasons to think that when you look into the people who are running Facebook.

I still laugh at that idea a little, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was true.

meanwhile both sites are still fun, to me at least =]

Well I'm going to say it and without this coming off at "spam", Virb seems to be where it's going. Yes, yes, yes I work there. But that's not the point of the post. The fact of the matter is that Virbs designed by people who actually know what they're doing and wasn't designed as a get rich quick lets sell out to make money. It offers both customization while keeping it to a point where you don't have a bunch of kiddies making horrible junk loaded profiles and spam. The default layout is far better than myspaces and even facebooks and you can do far more than you can do with myspace or facebook.

Facebook needs to stop trying to be like MySpace just as MySpace needs to stop trying to be like FaceBook and MySpace just needs to die.

Get rid of : Food fight, Zombies, Pro-poke, x-poke, etc-poke, Vampire, pets, fish, etc.... it's all garbage.

A decent blogging system would be good. One where I can manually edit the date (so I can migrate my myspace blog)

lol
all of you are complaining about applications. just DON'T install them... geez... i have an account in facebook and i think it is better than myspace with all the ads and pops up. mine is pretty clean without all the useless applications.

The article mentions video. He seems to have not really done his research properly, cos there is an official video app by Facebook in the applications list.

I fail to see why a news post, in which improvements for another website are suggested, exists on the Neowin front page? Facebook is just one of many social networking websites.

If they ever allow skinnable crap like myspace has where ever page wants you to tear your eyeballs out due to flashing lights, loud annoying music and horribly designed pages...ill take my account off... i cant stand that crap

Facebook needs more resources to assist in stalking people. I'd like to see a system implemented where you can follow someone with a live video feed.

IMHO Facebook is for people that it's too dumb (or lazy) to own a real site but in the same time, they want to be more "elitist" that the people of myspace.
