Will, I don't know if you were joking but in response to "would be good to filter the minifeed in some way", please see probably the most extensive interface on FaceBook! They know what you're thinking before you've thought it. Beware.

I tried to use the trips feed and it's not working properly. Must be teething problems.

Cheers zippy. Will try it. I've added Flixster. Nice idea, could be so much better.

I think you can filter the minifeed in the settings menu but don't quote me on that...

Having joined quite a few different neworking services over the years - LinkedIn, MySpace etc - I'm impressed how useful Facebook is for genuine business networking and simultaneously for keeping up with friends. Re the apps falling over, yes, some of them are being coded by 14-year-olds, but it'll all sort itself out in a while. It's the additional functionality that's key.

The only problem with these "applications" is they don't work reliably. I've tried to add 2 to far today, and both have fallen over either due to bad php coding or bandwidth on 3rd party servers...

The Minifeed is a great idea although sometimes there's a little too much detail. Would be good to be able to filter it in some way *has a brainwave*

there will be a time when we will measure time and dates by year BF, Before Facebook. This site is amazing but scarily addivtive. Noone can explain why though! Its just so impulsive to check every 30 minutes on your profile! And now they have all of the applications, music, video, slideshows, editing, youtube. My Space is dormant now, i think its the minifeed and main page that gives the edge over myspace. the fact that it keeps you informed of friends made and comments made with you and your friends is brilliant. How is this going to end though?! Will I still be logging on when in 84 wearing a nappy in my retirement home? probably!

Hehe, I'm obsessed with Facebook too. It's a smart site. The platform idea isn't new though. We had the idea for bolt on services when we first planned the Mansized site a couple of years ago. API anyone? I'd say it's Facebook 1 0 MySpace right now. FB will succeed because the technology's way better and the audience feels more widget savvy. One problem with Facebook - the fact that it relies on people to generate the content means it falls flat when they don't. I've seen quite a few tumbleweed groups and these need to be given a shove or cleared out. If you're on FB, look me up: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=571200784
