Great Wall of Facebook: The Social Network's Plan to Dominate the Internet

"For the last decade or so, the Web has been defined by Google's algorithms—rigorous and efficient equations that parse practically every byte of online activity to build a dispassionate atlas of the online world. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg envisions a more personalized, humanized Web, where our network of friends, colleagues, peers, and family is our primary source of information, just as it is offline. In Zuckerberg's vision, users will query this "social graph" to find a doctor, the best camera, or someone to hire—rather than tapping the cold mathematics of a Google search. It is a complete rethinking of how we navigate the online world, one that places Facebook right at the center. In other words, right where Google is now."

Paper tigers and hidden dragons » Untangled

"The point is that you don’t need to change technologies (or even interaction styles) to solve a problem of information transfer efficiency. Sometimes you just need to rethink the problem. There are many systems for which a different architecture is far more efficient, just as XMPP is far more efficient than HTTP for something like group chat. Large-scale collaborative monitoring is not one of them. An XMPP solution is far more applicable to peer-to-peer monitoring, where there is no central service that is interested in the entire state of a big site like Flickr, but even then we have to keep in mind that the economics of the crowd will dictate scalability, not the protocol used for information transfer."

Twitter: The hottest Web startup - Aug. 6, 2008

poor Twitter. when it's not being slagged for its poor uptime, it's being knocked for its lack of a business plan. which is fair, given recent history. but how many would have used it - or even realized that they might - if it's gates weren't wide open from Day One? i wouldn't have. Twitter stands a much better chance of realizing revenue, IMO, now that it's addicted so many users than it did before. it's like crack that way.
