Already, days after the news, almost 3 million members are in groups protesting Facebook opening up. Why? Because we want to keep it college students only. We rebelled with high schoolers being let in, and if Facebook opens up we will leave and find a new place. Facebook works because it is 'elitest' if you care, only allowing college (and no sadly) high school students. We don't want the 13 year old slut, the 50 year old perv on Facebook. We want it kept the way it is. If Facebook goes wide open, the entire college crowd will stop using it.

Be curious to see what you guys roll out into Zooomr that may have been influenced today (ps - you've won me over from flickr, i just switched).<br /><br />As to Facebook I think it's a bit of a bad idea for them to open up. We all know social networking is inclusive and that data wants to be free, etc etc. But even with the current generation growing up on computers and being more comfortable with shared data. There is still outrage over miscommunication of privacy (last week showed that). Facebook is good because it's locked up. If I'm at SFSU then I think that I'm only sharing my profile with students. <br /><br />Facebook's difference is the closed model v a wide open myspace. I think they are making a huge mistake.<br /><br />I'd be curious on your thoughts longterm for them and then how you liked their product. Thomas,

Facebook’s difference is the closed model v a wide open myspace. I think they are making a huge mistake.

I’d be curious on your thoughts longterm for them and then how you liked their product.
