> "So an address book?" Yes, which is certainly a valuable thing that becomes radically more valuable when you add pictures, snippets of personal events, friends of friends, etc. FB is loved because its added brilliant things to people's list of friends - you can get a pretty rich gestalt of your friends' lives on the screen. However, it doesn't work for everyone - you need to be motivated to put your life on the screen and you need to have friends who play along.
FB has a couple of design characteristics that trump most other things. The way the user contributed content (photos, comments, etc.) and user related notifications (News Feed, etc.) pop out so strongly makes it feel vital and dynamically representative of your social circle. Its easy to nitpick the latest redesigns but they haven't disrupted the key stuff. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
