- choopie911, on 12/09/2007, -1/+62Facebook is heading downhill so fast. It used to be great; all university aged users, only people you knew and best of all no applications. Now it's just myspace without the ***** backgrounds and auto-playing music.

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/12/07/facebook- ... - monger68, on 12/09/2007, -1/+35I does nont like the way you make tag lines.
- cactus476, on 12/09/2007, -5/+29Umm, ya. This article doesn't cite any of it's sources....
- suprxtragrav, on 12/09/2008, -0/+22FTA:
"Facebook does not allow users to sell ads on their profile pages. Chris Kelly, Facebook’s chief privacy officer, told me on Nov. 6 that is because Facebook does not want people’s profile pages to become cluttered.
“We don’t want a free-for-all,” he said."
HAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHA. what a paradox. - chrr, on 12/09/2007, -1/+22so what
- DefaultGen, on 12/09/2007, -0/+17Whatever, I don't care if Facebook polices my profile or sells my private infomation. I just gotta buy some more $1 gifts for my friends.
- vpshockwave, on 12/09/2007, -0/+12Facebook killing google? I can't be the only one to find that preposterous.
- inactive, on 12/09/2007, -0/+11i disagree with just about all of that.
- jpt62089, on 12/09/2007, -0/+11Nah, it's just some people are claustrophobic! Me included. I hate how Facebook is set up.
And yes it is possible to feel claustrophobic on a web page! - afdlips, on 12/09/2007, -0/+10I'm not surprised. Facebook will shut down your profile for having too many friends. "Social utility" nazis.
- bitcloud, on 12/09/2007, -0/+9This "Web 2.0" is basically a branch of the abandonment of net neutrality...
Monetising the web by providing a net "subset" is exactly the problem we're all trying to avoid, and here we have the poster child of web 2.0 working toward monopolising a user base by being *the* net portal.
I thought we said goodbye to AOL and Geocities a long time ago? - bokufala, on 12/09/2007, -3/+11So much for web 2.0 and allowing users to completely customize their web experience as they see fit.
- grimward, on 12/09/2007, -0/+7*bows* Thank you dear sir, blogspam should always be defused this way. Excellent show lad!
- scootinger, on 12/09/2007, -0/+4Cluttered? What about annoying crap like "Vampires", "Zombies", etc? And applications usually make money for the developers too, don't they? So why would they have a problem with profile owners doing it?
- Crabsinmypants, on 12/09/2007, -3/+7Why? Are your friends going to hate you for having a cluttered page?
- st3vo, on 12/09/2007, -0/+4With all the money they are making, and the fact that I maintain the web page I make for them to make money off of, I wouldn't mind getting a little piece of the cake.
- h2freak, on 12/09/2007, -3/+7Its a hell of an idea. although I wouldn't want my page to be "cluttered". ;)
- inactive, on 12/09/2007, -0/+4Why is it so hard for me not to click on the spam :(
- RyanB18, on 12/09/2007, -0/+3The benefit you get from facebook is non monetary, they have a right to defend their space.
- arjie, on 12/09/2007, -1/+4No, but I hate them. I hate how there's just so much on that goddamn page. I actually deactivated my Facebook account because of all that *****. That and their super smart method of telling you about a message. "Hey, your friend posted on your Wall. Click here to see it" What? Just give me the goddamn message. It's public anyway. Idiots. You lost one user with your stupidity.
- darkNiGHTS, on 12/09/2007, -0/+3Best greasemonkey script ever. It's called ***** Facebook, it hides all third-party applications from a user profile when you're viewing it.
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/11992 - MaybellineSP, on 12/09/2007, -0/+3this is pretty stupid.
- triscuitbiscuit, on 12/09/2007, -0/+3It doesn't even make sense...
- phatalbert, on 12/09/2007, -0/+2Haha.... the valuations seem stupidly high to me.
- f4nt0m4s, on 12/09/2007, -0/+2how do you redeem it and what's to stop me form using my friend's facebook profiles to click the add a couple thousand times?
- Dylson, on 12/09/2007, -0/+2Yes, I want to make money. Not through facebook, though.
- vonskippy, on 12/09/2007, -0/+2Mr. Mirza said. “But users should be getting paid for the time they spend on the Internet and the friends they draw to their pages.”
Da plane, da plane. Welcome to Fantasy Island. - br0wnstar, on 12/09/2007, -0/+2What the F? Tried adding the facebook weblo application "interNET WORTH" !!!1
Said my value was $287,507.40, jumped from being #3000 on all of facebook to #3... and then I uninstalled it and removed my account from weblo. Seemed way too sketchy/too good to be true. - grimward, on 12/09/2007, -1/+3This calls for a lolcat:

http://allyoucanupload.webshots.com/v/200377729914 ... - u2wedge, on 12/09/2007, -0/+2Dude, that blog only has two posts, one about Facebook and one about Digg... lame source. Buried.
- CalamariAce, on 12/09/2007, -2/+3I've hated facebook ever since they banned my account for reasons they refused to tell me. One day they just decided to pull the plug without telling me why.
Oh, and good luck trying to get your account re-activated. - Lyndoman, on 12/09/2007, -0/+1lol
- f4nt0m4s, on 12/09/2007, -0/+1my facebook is pretty useless, if i can make some money with it why not
- Lyndoman, on 12/09/2007, -0/+1The only thing surprising is the level of misunderstanding of the English language from diggtards
- jonester, on 12/09/2007, -0/+1I agree totally with Facebook, who wants them to look like Myspace?
- sardion2000, on 12/09/2007, -0/+1Facebook is what you make of it. Don't want someone on your friends list you can choose to hit "ignore". If you don't want applications you don't have to add them. It's simple and voluntary. I know everybody likes to pick on the 800 pound gorilla without good reason but c'mon. Use a little common sense when using any Web 2.0 sites. You don't pay for it with money, you pay for it with you eyeballs on the screen. Don't want to "pay" them with your eyeballs on the screen, then don't visit the site period. It's that simple. Vote with your feet(or browser in this case).
- dasilva333, on 12/09/2007, -1/+2basically the weblo website says my facebook profile is worth $159 i don't get how i redeem it though

- Lyndoman, on 12/09/2007, -0/+1When the second post on a blog is written, how many posts should there be? Maybe you live in an alternate reality where if you do 2 things the result is 42.
- DestroyFascism, on 12/09/2007, -0/+1CEO Mafia cannot get a cut?
- tomis, on 12/09/2007, -0/+1All social networking sites should give their users a cut of the ad revenue from their profiles. It may be their bandwidth, but it's my ***** content.
- cdcr28, on 12/09/2007, -0/+1Did you commit a thought crime?
- multitude, on 12/09/2007, -0/+1Surprising... someone who talks about "monetizing traffic" on their blog post doesn't know the difference between "its" and "it's". Conclusion: literacy is not required for making money on-line.
- jpt62089, on 12/09/2007, -1/+2Hello!
- MrPig, on 12/09/2007, -0/+1*bows* Thank you for that.
- phoomp, on 12/09/2007, -0/+1Before the addition of third party apps, Facebook could have made the "we don't want your pages to get cluttered" argument. Now, however, Facebook pages are beginning to look almost as bad as MySpace pages.
- tyler71, on 12/09/2007, -0/+1NONT!!!
- savethemooses, on 12/09/2007, -0/+1I sold my profile to News Corp. for $3 billion.
- siddhinfo, on 12/09/2007, -0/+0I don't think anybody will sleep when the question of money comes. Your head line should have been more attractive and catchy one.
