Yeah, it is not as internet-stalkerish as some of the other ones. It seems pretty legit, but who knows how long it will stay that way |

With the recently opened API and the looming talks of going IPO, it could literally become the next web OS (ala Google). As long as they adhere to the "Don't be evil" motto like Google, I can see them being legit and powerful for many years to come. Only time will tell right now though... |

| Seriously, everyone knows that weirdos and fake people don't use Facebook. It's like kryptonite to them. |

facebook used to require you to register with an email address with the official domain of one of the top 75 colleges and universities in the country in order to join. it slowly spread to being basically all colleges, to basically any email address ending in .edu
earlier this year, the creators sold the company to Google for $1.1 Billion. Google then decided to milk it for all it's worth and open facebook up to the general public and cater to the 13-year-old emo audience like all the rest of the sites.
Essentially, if you keep your privacy settings stringent, and especially if you're actually in college, it can still be a good site. Thank God the overflow of emo and teenage angst and e-thug and white trash hasn't taken over the entire site (yet). |

| The privacy restrictions are very useful vs. some of the other so called social networking sites. Google didn't buy facebook btw. Mark values his company at like 10bil or something. The guy is crazy, and wants to keep it private. |
