[...] In my opinion, user control is essential to any online community and Facebook has built one of the most engaged communities on the web due to emphasizing this issue (yes- they have made mistakes along the way). [...]

[...] I guess the news from Facebook just keeps on coming. The latest? They are going insert viral advertisements in those “newsfeeds” that caused such a riot. One thing that probably would have caused an uproar was that, “When one user clicks on an advertisement in their feeds, all of that user’s friends will be notified that the ad was clicked on and will be given an opportunity to join a group led by the advertiser”. However, Techcrunch just posted an update (below)- Update: Melanie Deitch, Facebook’s Director of Marketing, emailed to tell us that the MediaWeek story we linked to below was incorrect and that in fact, no unsolicited notices will be sent. Only users who have elected to join a sponsored group will be notified when friends in that group click one of the group’s ads. That’s good. [...]

By: Facebook to Open Up its Registration » Personal Insights on Web 2.0, Blogging, and Business

[...] I know, a bit of Facebook overkill recently, but what can you do when a company keeps putting out news? The most recent news? Facebook is going to open up their registration to anyone and everyone by adding 500 geographic regions for people to associate themselves with. No longer will people be required to have a .edu domain name (and more recently- one of about a thousand corporate e-mail domains facebook added). Facebook’s exclusivity was a big reason that it proved so popular with many of its loyal users. The main reason I don’t like Myspace is that it is littered with spam. Business Week reported on this news that Techcrunch and Mashable both mentioned earlier today. [...]

[...] WOW…talk about timing on this news. I’m sure Salesforce didn’t time this with the Facebook fiasco (or did they?), but the news that they now have a Winter 07 preview section of their web site is another great business move by salesforce showing that they are listening to their users. What are they doing? There are previews of all the new features that salesforce may roll out this winter that users can vote on. This shows they are very serious about giving their customers what they want. If you are a web 2.0 company (or any company in general), make sure you make your product decisions with the help of your customer. It looks like they are investing in a desktop calendar and are looking for customer feedback. I’ve used salesforce personally, and I can see the future possibility of organizing your whole job in salesforce if they keep adding features to their already rich feature-set. In addition, they have lots of logos to vote on for Winter 07, the most popular being the image below. [...]
