I was thinking at the Developers' part instead. What's the plan with Games and Apps? Is G+ going to offer the same conditions as for its Web store? (more likely)

That would be a huge game changer (FB has 30% cut) expecially for those biggies like Zynga. Could this be related to Zynga's "rush" for the IPO?

Seriously, does he think that a hack for creating Facebook Lists is even comparable to Circles?

Of course this is some kind of improvement already for Facebook's standards.

Zuckerberg: “Guess What? Nobody Wants To Make Lists.” http://techcrunch.com/2010/08/26/facebook-friend-lists/

Of course, they're a HUGE pain. I mean really, I use them.

I thought the whole meaning of "hacking" was to let more people do more things easier. Instead, we need the world to be a more "open place" (in a huge walled garden), that sounds like someone sticking too much with his PR.

Facebook has already started looking messy (every time a new service comes out it has to be built in the "Social" Network apparently) and will continue to do so now that Google has started giving a serious approach.

I'd be glad to see Facebook "pivot" over Circles so I might KEEP using it instead of a address book.

I found this interesting (and perhaps you're ready to unleash the functional programming already)

Nice to see this, it feels like they got it

Enjoy your stay!

There are plenty of startups struggling on the "chicken and egg" problem, starting with a 500k userbase is surely a good starting point. Of course big players won't contribute, it's built for their competitors, that's why this makes a lot of sense to me.

Solving real problems?

Far from being hacker myself, let's hear more from some serious ones

Facebook is rolling out a new Lightbox plugin (rolled back after refresh, no screen)

I expect more to "leak" as we move towards its IPO

They're just people after all... they engage whatever way of communication they like the most. I wouldn't be surprised if they'd procrastinate their mails.

Email isn't really the most loved form of communication and they get tons of pitches on daily basis.

I don't know if this is "ethical" in VC business but try to engage them where they're active (PM, DM, Reply, etc).

There are many services around but I guess this could give you a hint

"it's hard to blame someone for raising $41 million on an idea if they can"

As long as you/he states the kind of work done (slicing, theming, adding plugins etc) I think it's pretty fair.

I gave this argument differents thoughts, not only having different accounts violates Facebook's TOS but Zuckerberg states it is "immoral" to have more than one account so people should be ashamed of it. I can understand his position, he has to enforce the fact that every active user on Facebook is a real user.

Now, let's rule out developers that until lately were forced into this behaviour, there's plenty of people out there using multiple accounts. Plenty of people using multiple accounts on daily basis. For example people running businesses/marketing with their account instead of page and much more importantly you know who's using more than one account? Casual gamers, those who play games on daily basis. Every Zynga game (just to point out the most successful ones) is a spam factory forcing users to spam in order to advance in their games, users are aware of this and start their "gaming" accounts. If you didn't think about this yet, just try and check how many people descend from the "Games" family (and that's only for english speaking countries) these days, impressive growth. Now check the "Cityville", the "Farm*" family and so on.

And there's plenty of other categories.

Once I read that Madrid had two times as many accounts on Facebook as the real city population. Now you could point out we don't know how many of this users are counted as active, of course Facebook will never point out the number and will always defend its strenght, but that's something people should think about.

From QAs: it won't perform face recognition

Actually the presentation showed a query for an old picture returning images taken from the same place. It's being said that they're doing it by matching images' basic lines and shapes.
