Information about Facebook| Is it facebook running

Information about Facebook| Is it facebook running:Facebook is a great one-stop way to keep up with friends (especially more distant ones), share what is going on in your life and so on.  Facebook has a good core idea, but other than that, the company seems to have hardly any interest in the actual community of people who use it, what they want, or how they want to interact with the service. Most other social networks (Digg, Reddit, Twitter, even Craigslist) are very sensitive to the community. Most recently the change to make your friends public was a similar breach in the implicit social contract Facebook has with its users.

What can Facebook do to turn this around? Facebook needs to choose what it does and focus on doing that well. I feel like Facebook is simply chasing the moment and trying to do a bit of everything. You can share status updates, but not as easily as on Twitter. Stop changing around the interface/core idea of what Facebook is every 18 months.

Facebook has released a new Facebook Profile. As usual, the changes seem pretty arbitrary, but Facebook appears to have moved in the direction of having a profile page that blends your professional life and your personal life, and I feel pretty strongly that this is a mistake.

I believe that many of us are still struggling to find the right balance between our Facebook profiles being highly personal and only for our trusted friends, versus being more professional and safe for our work colleagues to see.
