    Do you believe in facebook? Do you find it useful? I personally, don't see any useful or helpful features there. And it is hard to believe that so many people are so keen on it. What about you?
    Maybe it is just a marketing trick?:)

    The minute Facebook becomes publicly traded, I'll buy stock. It'll skyrocket like Google's. Call me a believer.

    I believe in it because it demands information before it adds you to groups. This is more accurate and prevents others from stealing your identity. Another thing is I love the Warbook and the Dragon :). It is a good model because it enables others to create apps and add on to the functionality. I feel that it is a better model than say myspace or orkut. Personally I feel orkut is the worse, when I sign up I am lost there.

    It was good until they started adding all those stupid applications! I get so many zombie, aquarium, hotness invites everyday and they are very annoying!

    The vast majority of people who use facebook have no interest in it being useful or helpful - they use it for entertainment - a bit of chat and jokes with friends, some games. It's for fun, not usefulness.

    (unless you're using it to sell and promote stuff, obviously)

    I don't mind them, the 100 senseless requests a day get annoying.

    It is absolutly worthless. It's basically just a time filler for the many people in the world who are bored.

    As for webmasters it get a little bit of traffic, but I wouldn't say it's worth the trouble.

    I don't really believe in it. Haven't used it so I can't tell how useful it is. It might be good for getting some traffic. :)

    I love the concept of Facebook. I am too business centric to figure out how to translate Facebook's social benefits into my business environment. As soon as I figure out how to do this, I will consider it one of my most valuable online marketing tools.

    Q...
