I think Facebook has an opportunity to give users a greater degree of control over their environment. The grouping feature, which will inevitably be released, will provide a new layer of control to users with information/friend overload. The existence and popularity of applications like “top friends” is a testament to the need for people to assign tiers to their social network. Really, I don’t care if someone I met 2 years ago and no longer speak with is battling a Ninja. Facebook needs to a) allow the grouping of friends so information flow becomes more relevant and b) continue optimizing the default newsfeed settings so the average user doesn’t get driven away. I actually think the latter is more important, since a lot of users aren’t going to bother spending a lot of time tweaking newsfeed settings, grouping users, etc..

Doc, I am glad you wrote this. I don’t like Facebook for three reasons: 1) as you say, it is a walled garden, and to look at a page you are forced to divulge who you are and register. 2) they have you click “I have read and understood…” for a contract which takes me thirty minutes to read and college level reading skills to understand. 3) they take ownership of all content generated. I and my lab Minciu Sodas are founding members of the new European Union thematic network for the Public Domain. We are the forum for developing the EUs policy on the Public Domain. It is likely that we will be hosting in April, 2008 a workshop in Vilnius, Lithuania on Ethical Public Domain: Debate of Questionable Practices. I hope that Facebook sends somebody to debate these practices. Perhaps we can come to a friendly agreement or understand their position. Otherwise, they may wake up to find a law, guideline or evaluation in Europe restricting or discouraging their behavior. See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/learningfromeachother/message/1166 for more about my proposed workshop.
