More on Facebook

Facebook is an interesting phenomenon which has already been more successful that MySpace or Friendster. Why?

First of all, as I mentioned in a previous post, Facebook capitalises on the best way to meet other people, which is through recommendation, and puts it online. Facebook is also very organic. It’s designed to allow people to update their status constantly, in real-time (which is potentially extremely time-sapping) - and it’s extendable. As such, it threatens to be very addictive!

Facebook is essentially a good thing, but like all good things, it must be used in moderation. It is also interesting to note that the site is made using PHP. It is an enormous, extremely well engineered and successful site, which should surely put to rest any doubts about the capabilities of this language.
