Blogosphere: Facebook might open up their news feed to all websites. This means that stories can be sent to the news feed from any third party site (like beacon, but outside the original partners) Is this a good move or bad move?
Me: Hmm, this is a tough one. The news feed is Facebook's number one feature and it's tough to say that it's a good idea to mess with it. However, I think that if Facebook can create a system that can't be gamed by spammy companies, this can be pretty good. Personally, I think the news feed needs a little spicing up. I'd like to see stories about my friends doing things all over the web (just as long as it is user-intiated). It will help me learn more about my friends and the services they use. I just hope FB provides all the user control needed so we don't have another PR bungle.

Blogosphere: How will social networks ever make money?
Me: Social networks will find success in diversifying their revenue streams, crafting an ad experience that keeps users on their platform, and somehow getting advertisers to pay for engagement over clickthroughs. Overall, extreme innovation will be needed to create entirely new ad solutions. Think Beacon 2.0, hopefully without the PR mess-ups.
