- JordanTW90, on 11/23/2007, -5/+91Why did this make frontpage?
- KraftDinner101, on 11/23/2007, -2/+51This is the most idiotic piece of tripe I've ever read.
- goonsquad3, on 11/23/2007, -2/+37Lame trend stories are the new Ron Paul.
- fLUx1337, on 11/23/2007, -4/+38Wow, wtf......this crap reached the frontpage?
Google = Microsoft?!
Facebook = Google?!
Wow... - jclassracer, on 11/23/2007, -4/+32... and floogle is the new bloogle.
- aroundtown, on 11/23/2007, -2/+22and Digg is the new CNN, covering the same topics over and over.
- synce, on 11/23/2007, -2/+20Myspace has always been *****. I'm still amazed at how popular it became.
- Kailash.Nadh, on 11/23/2007, -0/+18I "deactivated" my Facebook account this afternoon. Got sick of the hype. Maybe its just me, I tried to make myself like facebook, but failed miserably.
- ekin09, on 11/23/2007, -2/+17 Dude, digg stories with out actually reading the ***** article, it is ***** cool .. "I LOVEZ TEH TiTLE, DUGG!"
- tdelet, on 11/23/2007, -1/+16Because idiotic stories are the new interesting stories.
- ToadLeg, on 11/23/2007, -2/+17...Comcast is the new AOL...?
- natmaster, on 11/23/2007, -1/+15Myspace has always been crap
- koziktime66, on 11/23/2007, -0/+12I never, ever post comments on digg or reddit -- but this one just struck a nerve.
What the heck is it with these facebook stories? Seriously: Was the s**t spewed fourth by Facebooks publicity mongers to hype up their value or what, because I seriously do not see what the big fuss is about Facebook! So Microsoft invested money into them, and they are supposedly worth 15 billion on paper -- So what? In the meantime, how are they going to live up to that value besides when their users -- oblivious to all of this whole argument and their supposed value -- are shoving spam in my facebook inbox, stupid invites, vampire applications and dozens of other useless things, thereby making the load time of a page that of a typical myspace page (okay, so it´s still not as bad as myspace ... but) ... Please -- we´ve seen what the masses have done with myspace, 5 minute load times for a page on T1, crashing of browsers, design standards thrown out the window, making web pages unbearable to go to, and then, once the masses got down with that, they stampeded over to facebook soon as it opened up to them, and consequently, what was once a neat, bare minimum social networking site is now a bastion of spammers and useless applications that get on people´s nerves.
I may be in the minority here, but can someone please, please explain to me how Facebook is going to overtake google ... please! I´ve read article after article, and nothing seems to be very conclusive, just HYPE -- about what it COULD do for search and all the stuff. Moreover, what is the deal with all these companies thinking that social networking is going to take over all of our lives? Maybe, but really?
Sadly, playing devil´s advocate to my own argument, i have friends who refuse to email me at my email address; instead, they msg me on myspace or facebook and THINK that is email, even after I TELL THEM to email me, not facebook me. So, maybe there is something to it, but c´mon, let´ś see some hard date -- NOT HYPE from a publicity machine. - Kingmichael, on 11/23/2007, -2/+14I don't know much about Facebook, so will someone explain to me how Facebook became the "new Google" when it's a social networking site and not a search engine? Also, why do these stories keep appearing on Digg? Diggers hate MySpace, and Facebook is pretty much the same thing but with better site design.
- stormgren, on 11/23/2007, -1/+12No.
- bahamutxd, on 11/23/2007, -2/+12Like Google, Facebook is trying to expand its reach, yet being built on that said structure - doesn't give much room for growth. It's easy to turn a search engine into a portal of sorts, but a social networking site? I agree -- Facebook will fade as newer (and less invasive -- [anything that's not like Facebook Beacon]) options appear. MySpace is falling victim to bad design, among other things.
- amawg9, on 11/23/2007, -2/+12Purple is the new pink.
- Devotia, on 11/23/2007, -3/+13What's Microsoft? The new Ma Bell?
- lackingdiggnity, on 11/23/2007, -2/+12In a related development, talented young people all over the world are increasingly seeking engaging work environments with financial upside. We will continue to monitor this phenomenon and report further head-slappingly obvious items as they arise.
- nousplacidus, on 11/23/2007, -3/+13Big companies are always targets in this regard. It makes sense that a good company is made of good employees and thus the cherrypicking begins.
- calon9, on 11/23/2007, -1/+11Sugar is the new oil.
- paulsmith288, on 11/23/2007, -3/+11google hasn't done embrace , extend , extinguish like ms
- michellepeet, on 11/23/2007, -1/+9Faceback doesn't make a fraction of the revenue that Google makes... When will people learn? And Google is of higher value than IBM, even though IBM has 4 times the net profit. Facebook is just a fad, it's NOT revolutionary, it does almost nothing new, it's just less annoying than MySpace.
- mlvassallo, on 11/23/2007, -0/+7This has the be the stupidest article I've seen on Digg. And yes, I've read all the Ron Paul articles.
- dafragsta, on 11/23/2007, -0/+7Opinions are the new facts.
Facts are the new... - inactive, on 11/23/2007, -1/+7since when was microsoft a search engine?? and google a software company?? and facebook a search engine?? etc etc.... great comparison whoever wrote the stupid article
- inactive, on 11/23/2007, -0/+5Facebook is NOT and will never be the "new google", take a step outside the US, facebook quickly goes MIA.
- dajuggernaut, on 11/23/2007, -1/+6buried for the lame content
- thebrawl, on 11/23/2007, -0/+5Microsoft isn't the new anything. It's the old everything
- oojamaflip2006, on 11/23/2007, -1/+6Microsoft is the new IBM
- polvero, on 11/23/2007, -0/+5I think it's cute when people try to compare "Company X" to Google. Nobody buys it. Just let the things be what they are. Google is Google and they are the best at what they do. Facebook is good too - one of the more decent Social Networking sites that has been around for a long time and I check a few times a week. I recommend Facebook to friends. MySpace I never joined because - it wasn't for me, but there was never denying the rest of my teenage cousins getting a MySpace page.
Nevertheless, this is Digg. You take the bad with the good. - jerrycan, on 11/23/2007, -1/+5So, is microsoft the new facebook then?
- Joe_rigby, on 11/23/2007, -1/+5I disagree.
- uberlord, on 11/23/2007, -1/+4Not much better...
- dusanmal, on 11/23/2007, -1/+4Your thinking has some grains of truth in it but for the one great flaw of the social networking sites: they are still in the phase of being ruled by the fashion. Facebook has some chance to be "it", but more likely it is the social networking equivalent of the AltaVista to some future social networking equivalent of Google.
- peestandingup, on 11/23/2007, -2/+5Its because Myspace is still populated with non-computer users who just happen to use a computer & they just don't know any better. These are the types of people who still think its cool to send you a hundred email forwards a day about dumb *****.
Facebook is the social site for the people who know better. Maybe that'll change in the future, but thats how it is now. - likwidfuzion, on 11/23/2007, -0/+3I concur.
- graviplana, on 11/23/2007, -0/+3This is *****. Buried, and I suggest you do the same.
- ahpro, on 11/23/2007, -1/+4I don't have facebook. Am i missing out?
- toast1226, on 11/23/2007, -1/+4And brown is the new black.
- smek2, on 11/23/2007, -0/+2Another idiotic facebook post. Stop spamming. Stop comparing Facebook to Google. Facebook even depends on Google. Let alone the fact that Google is (basically, though they drastically grew) a search engine and Facebook is, well, MySpace.
- hazello, on 11/23/2007, -0/+2I ***** hate Facebook.
- dn11, on 11/23/2007, -0/+2give me a break. Facebook is a fad - it's the new Mysapce, that is all
- aazn, on 11/23/2007, -0/+2Well until Facebook comes out with "Facebook Docs & Spreadsheets" and "Facebook Mail (FMail)" I'd rather work at Google.
Besides, have you seen Google's work environment? - zabouth, on 11/23/2007, -0/+2Google = search engine
Facebook = social networking site
Chalk = Type of Soft White Rock
Cheese = Yellow Tasty Stuff Made form milk. - KevinJim, on 11/24/2007, -0/+2This look like something John C. Dvorak could write... and it's almost the same idiotic as he is.
- thefinger, on 11/24/2007, -0/+2Just going by the title, that's too much shape shifting. I can't take it!
- ZackWolk, on 11/23/2007, -0/+2BURY - blanket title statements that don't make a relevant reference to the content should be erradicated
- scaaven2, on 11/24/2007, -0/+2facebook sucks
- poxonyou, on 11/24/2007, -0/+2At the time it started gaining momentum, it was competing against Friendster. Friendster was very basic at the time, while Myspace had blogs, larger and more pictures could be uploaded, more changes could be made to a profile, you could browse anyone's profile (Friendster was limited to friend's ofa friend), and they focused heavily on getting bands on it. The most fun thing happening on Friendster were fake profiles. "hehe. I'm friends with Einstein and Mr. T".
Of course, Myspace hasn't really changed its design since it started, so it is and feels really outdated. Facebook is different, has new features added often, etc. Myspace also has the Geocities stigma of people producing absolutely ***** unreadable webpages full of graphics, music, and videos. -
