Your arguments about closed versus open systems in re Facebook applying netocratic theory are important here. <br /><br />Facebook Groups doesn't seem the answer to the problem of Facebook as relationship management. Part of the challenge of imploiting links is that the groups we share with are important. We want to keep both he links and the shape of the groups hidden to our broader network.<br /><br />Google still seems to me to have a better trajectory to yasn-as-platform than Facebook because it's a richer platform for widgets and provides better ways to manage the visibility of imploitation networks.<br /><br />Steve Job's thinks that "integrated will beat fragmented every time."
