Getting Facebook

Facebook is a social networking application that is currently generating a great deal of interest. It started out as a sort of MySpace, but restricted to college students. More recently, it has opened its virtual doors to the wider world and the resulting frenzy has been quite amazing to observe. The problem for me is that I just didn't understand what all the excitement was about. Another networking application - big deal! However, Richard MacManus's post goes quite a long way in helping me to see the light. The combination of a social network with associated business services could make this a very interesting location to call 'home'. What do you think?
