Take a look at this post on the “A VC” blog: The Difference Between Wordpress and Facebook.

Interesting stuff. And I think I agree with it.

But trust me on this one. The blogging revolution is the adult social network whereas Facebook style social networking is for teens and college kids. This gap will narrow.

I like that way of putting it. I can’t see the adults of tomorrow using Facebook. They might not be using Wordpress either of course…

I will not be going to Facebook.com again for some time. The iPhone version of Facebook is great to use in any version (see it here) but I think it is better suited to a smaller screen. Hence it works perfectly as a widget. You can browse, post, change your status, check your inbox etc. And you don’t see any of the new application shit. It is simply marvellous. Ad free for the moment too.

Facebook just released their new applications product. And it is quite simply amazing. Facebook has become the first well implemented web based operating system. No one has any reason at all to leave Facebook now… everything can be done through it’s new platform.

It’s incredible.

Today Facebook have launched Facebook Mobile. The extra functionality is broken down into three sections - you can browse Facebook on your phone, you can upload content to Facebook on your phone and you can get text updates and send text updates to Facebook. I am only interested in the latter.

So what does this text service offer? Well you can search Facebook users, and get there info I assume delivered to you by text. And you can write on people’s walls, send people messages, poke people… etc. On January 7th I said that I thought that Facebook could do with acquiring Twitter or at least making use of some of their ideas on this Flickr Photo. And now it looks like that is what they have done.

The actual functionality of Twitter - sending you updates on what your contacts are doing - seems to be missing for now. I don’t think there is any sort of automatic message sending out - it only sends you messages to requests that you have made. But it is hard to tell without using the service which is something I am not doing anytime soon. I do know though that a feature where everytime a friend updated their status you got it on your phone (i.e. Twitter) would go down amazingly well among students.

If it is not there right now - it would be a great addition. And I am sure it will come.
