Soundtrack: Act III Scene 2: Trauermarsch
I was recently asked by a friend whether they should have a Facebook page.
While Facebook is a huge distraction to one's (by this I mean my) normal workflow, I believe they are on the cusp of something truly epic. With the advent of their comment boxes, affiliations with news portals, and most prominently, their adoption of OpenID, we are witnessing Facebook's grasp finally catching up with its reach.
I believe, that with these aforementioned technologies, Facebook will encompass the web with what I will not call Frame. Your web experience will now be viewed through the Facebook Frame: shaped by what your friends suggest, and attuned to your own preferences. Instead of waiting for you to search for something, Facebook is enabling a new system where information will come to you suggested by your family & friends, instead of you searching for it.
Facebook isn't looking to become an entry point like the Portal sites of yore, they creating a new Framework in which to view the web.
