Facebook Stand Up In Social Bookmarking

Facebook.com is thought to be a leader in the social networking sphere, whereas Saleforce.com seems to be in similar position for general purpose business. Facebook is wonderfully built, by smart people, in an intelligent way, that creates goals for me to aspire to (I still don’t like using it, but I really appreciate how hard that must have been). Facebook and sites like it are not responsible for the perceived crisis in friendship that some organisations saw. The view that such a basic human relation is in crisis could blind one to the many opportunities people still had to make friendships and expand relationships creatively, simply by sharing some common goal or project that asks things of the people involved.

Facebook members who sign up for Mobile can now receive wall post, messages, and pokes as text messages. In essence, this is like receiving e-mail to your phone for free (assuming you are registered under a plan with unlimited text messages). Facebook has some real value for you because of the rich set of tools and large amount of active users. This is a great place to experiment with how people interact in social networks.
