As the Facebook community continues to grow by over 600,000 people a day, there is a lot of potential for Facebook to move beyond who we know in common to what we know in common. As I update my status with movies I’ve seen, books I’m reading or news articles I like, these features could help make all kinds of conversation — not just introductory ones — a lot more engaging.

Est-ce à dire qu'un Facebook invente l'idée d'une néo-Nation ? Les réseaux sociaux sont-ils des Réseaux-nations (Networks-Nations) ? Si dans 10 ans, le sujet "Facebook est il un réseau-nation ?" siège en invité d'honneur du Grand oral de Sciences-Po, il faudra d'abord, pour l'étudiant discipliné, revisiter les définitions classiques de la Nation. Soyons bon élève et anticipons l'épreuve.

Face it. Facebook is the new water cooler. We as humans have a tendency to associate with people due to our proximity to them. We chat with our neighbors because they live on the same street as we do, and we see them all the time. We chat with our coworkers because they work on the same floor and eat lunch at the same time as we do.

Sure, it seems weird that your 8th grade classmate hit you up on Facebook. But if that same classmate had gone to the same high school and college, and lived nearby 20 years later, there’s an increased likelihood that the two of you would have kept in touch. Not to say that you’d be best friends, but your proximity to each other would have increase the potential for you to continuously cross paths. These intersections of our lives give us opportunities to catch up with our acquaintances, see what’s going on in each other’s lives, and then move on.

What Facebook does is remove a portion of the proximity dilemma, giving you the opportunity to stay close to each other in the virtual sense. You see friends’ updates and the photos of their Cabo vacation. You’re able to remain digitally close to 8th grade classmates because you have access to their shared moments in life. Facebook extends the concept of building relationships around proximity, as the very definition of proximity is forever changed with the introduction of social networking.

Les statistiques françaises font apparaître une chute de l'immersion dans les réseaux sociaux après 25-30 ans, confortant l'idée de Danah Boyd selon laquelle, une fois adulte, on passe à autre chose: on s'éloigne du hanging out des sites communautaires et on adapte ses usages du numérique à ses nouveaux besoins et à son style de vie.

If you harbor a bit of angst over Facebook friend requests gone unanswered, a surprise "defriending" or being deserted by your Twitter followers, you're not alone.

Different social media spaces have different norms. You may not be able to describe them, but you sure can feel them. Finding the space the clicks with you is often tricky, just as finding a voice in a new setting can be. This is not to say that one space is better than the other. I don't believe that at all. But I do believe that Facebook and Twitter are actually quite culturally distinct and that trying to create features to bridge them won't actually resolve the cultural differences. And boy is it fun to watch these spaces evolve.

By showing the News Feed highlights as the default view, Facebook will probably encourage users to pay more attention to, interact with more and grow closer to the people they already have a history of interacting with and the events that are already popular. Weak social connections and your personal long-tail of content are less prioritized in this view.

Over recent months, we've seen the mass exodus from MySpace to the more popular - and more populated - Facebook. Studies have shown that those left actively engaging on MySpace now tend to be younger, lower-income users. Researcher Danah Boyd pointed out, somewhat controversially, that the differences between the two networks, MySpace and Facebook, went further than age and income - they involved your "social class," too.

Tired of being compared to Facebook in this way and certainly tired of hemorrhaging its users, MySpace CEO Van Natta has plans to turn the sinking ship around. After taking over the company six months ago, he's been busy arranging new partnerships for the one-time king of social networks. These partnerships aim to bring the focus back to music, and less on socializing.

But for news organizations the question is not really why do women get social media but what does that mean for attracting women readers? If news organizations can answer that second question, they will stand to gain readers — and money — for sure.

“If you go out and search Twitter, it doesn’t work very well,” he said. “It’s very literal.” But if The Times can build multiple search products for Twitter that better understand context, there “is a lot of power in organizing and curating this world.” Therefore, the company is looking into building similar Twitter aggregators for what could be “thousands of categories,” he said.

"Facebook makes it easier for you to take that first step of finding someone again," explains Rainer Romero-Canyas, a psychology research scientist at Columbia University. "It has finally provided a way for people to reach out to someone without fear of rejection." The Boston Phoenix even coined a term, retrosexuals, for people who are taking the plunge into recycled love.

Pourtant, dans l'ombre, parti avec un peu d'avance sur ses concurrents, ce réseau teinté de nostalgie avec ses vieilles photos de classe, soucieux à l'origine de renouer les liens entre ex-écoliers ou collégiens, s'est bâti un véritable succès d'audience.

This is Facebook firing a shot at Google, not at Twitter. Twitter is mere collateral damage but Facebook knows the real money in real time is in search. FriendFeed has real time search. Google does not (although it’s bootstrapping there very fast, some of my FriendFeed items are showing up in Google within seconds now). Facebook has 300 million users. FriendFeed and Twitter do not. Google has Wave coming, along with some other things this fall and that forced a shotgun marriage between FriendFeed and Facebook.
