Facebook is undeniably a great success story and ... a very lucky idea. If we look at the urgency with which Mr Zuckerberg is trying to 'improve the user experience' and give us even more reasons to stay with his creation - then we can easily see that he is plain scared. That's right - he doesn't know what made Fb the 'juggernaut' of social networking.
The field is crowded with great ideas, great platforms, and yet we all keep coming back to Facebook. What would happen if we all stopped using it for a week? What if we got bored or if the next kid from Harvard came with an idea like Pingwyn for instance and with the speed of 500 million mouse-clicks we all left ...
Pignwyn by the way is only a location-based mobile social networking platform just for the iOS ... for now. So Facebook is safe ... for now. Sleep well Mr Zuckerberg.
