For instance, at present Facebook makes just shy of $5 per user per year.

I think $1 per month could be reasonable, Spotify charges 5 - 10 times that. The idea is that you're changing the priority from building an amazing ad network to building an amazing social network.

The things that are good for users are nearly always bad for advertisers. Such as total privacy.

I don't believe I'm diving too deeply into these words at all. In fact, I'm not really talking about the words; my point is that they are a symptomatic of a larger problem, that is, Facebook does not seem to adequately understand emotion, love and friendship.

If someone new did come in, this is precisely what they should be keeping an eye on. I hope they fix it.

My logic was that, if Zuck is testing it, then perhaps it's a serious competitor to go live.

Yeah, but I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook were planning to expand their partnership with Microsoft Bing either.

yeah, the Quora idea is quite possible. Where search drives the interactions. As I wrote, search is something that’s totally under-realized on the Facebook platform. There is no way to search and filter content.

No, this could change how you use Facebook. A doodle doesn't do that.

Yep. Here's a quote by George Clooney about a conversation he had with President Obama.

"I talked with the president at one of those fundraisers some months back, and I asked him, "What keeps you up at night?"

And he said, "Everything. Everything that gets to my desk is a critical mass. If it gets to my desk, then no one else could have handled it."

Would you really? Not sure about that, I imagine he believes in the public product. However, if something is being tested on his account, then it's possibly quite a strong contender for release(?)
