Prediction: Facebook Will Remain Just Facebook
So Facebook is the hottest thing since Tabasco. It is now valued at $50 billion and founder Mark Zuckerberg (unless you believe those two Harvard rowers, or the new guy trying to sue for half of the company because he invested $1,000 years ago) is worth a cool $14 bill. And the site just went through a redesign, one I barely noticed. So is Facebook the new powerhouse? No. As one Redmond Report reader just pointed out, it is just a Web site.
Google took a simple search engine and built a multi-faceted empire. I don't see Facebook making the same moves, and without constant innovation, it could become the next MySpace. Does anyone remember MySpace?
