People make their choices when you they are provided with them. I've made my choice to limit my exposure to Facebook, removing any application that requires me to give constant attention to it, and limiting the junk on my profile page. Not everyone makes that choice, and in that case I make the choice to close their page if it takes too long to load. But there's no denying that there is a lot of fun to be had on Facebook!

Or will it just be another social site to go through the revolving door? And as Mark has pointed out above - it's looking more like MySpace by the day. Buying friends drinks for their web page? WTF??? Will Facebook still be relevant in 3 years? Or will it just be another social site to go through the revolving door?

Once they started adding those little stupid applications where there's no limit to how many you can have at once...I stopped paying attention. Viewing a friend's page on Facebook now is as worse as any Myspace page. It's just filled with useless crap that takes even the fastest connection forever to load up. "Really? Do you need all this shit? I don't even know where your 'wall' is to post. I just wanted to say hey, but now I just want to kill you" Facebook has gotten shittier and shittier over the past few months.
