If you are keeping up with all the crazy websites popping up (Twitter, Friendfeed, Mixx, etc.) then you will know why I am going on record as saying that Facebook is on it's way out.
Here is why:
1. Facebook said they would share their members information with Google in an open source format so Google could develop new concepts. Google built Google Friends Connect with this understanding. Then Facebook changed it's mind and got greedy and locked Google out.
2. Facebook is getting really protective of it's information and is now messing with one of the top social media design companies called Slide. Most of you know their Top Friends app. Slide is the developer of that app. Well, Facebook has now locked them out.
Facebook has not been playing well with others. With so many social networking sites available like Myspace.com and new ones launching daily, you have to play nice with others. It just takes one bad headline on TechCrunch to destroy your rep. If you don't believe me ask Twitter.
How can Facebook be saved:
1. apologize to Google publically and open up your code.
2. Work with Slide to redesign any apps your not happy with. Don't shut them out completely.
3. Redesign the Homepage. They have a the worst layout ever. My Facebook homepage is a headache. I can't stand looking at it. It's not organized. Fix it before Myspace fixes theirs.
There. I said it.
