Facebook is so ubiquitous now that it's like another manifestation of the web itself.

Facebook is not an unstoppable juggernaut. There are a lot of other things people can do on the web.

While a lot of what is on Facebook is a better amalgam of what AOL, Yahoo, Amazon, and other Web pioneers introduced long ago, with a nice dash of connection and really identified community, this kind of thing is not a new idea.

In the case of the Web, each of us has slightly more access to a mass audience - a few more people slide through the door - but Facebook is finally a crude, personal multimedia conglomerate machine, personal nation-state machine, reality-show machine. New gadgets alter social patterns, new media eclipse old ones, but the pyramid never goes away.

The best part of working with Facebook has been the cross-fertilization of ideas, people, and technology.

Facebook's data trove is enviable, and its moves into nearly every aspect of our lives - from payment to media, will create even more of it. The company also has created a huge base of developers for its platform, but the ecosystem is incomplete compared to vertically integrated OSes like iOS, Mac or Windows.

I love Facebook. I could brush my teeth with Facebook.

I use Facebook all the time. I'm not a believer that they're going to do everything on the Internet better than anyone else.

Facebook is developing, and so are we. Timeline is a big step in the evolution of how we manage our identity online - and it's going to make a huge difference to Causes. You are building a monument to yourself and the things that are important to you.

The thing that we are trying to do at facebook, is just help people connect and communicate more efficiently.
