However the whole brand concept (I'd never thought of the cattle!) is something that millions fall for. The question is - if they feel they can belong to a genuine social network that is also a brand, then their interpretation of this stands maybe?

Now the only good product AOL offers is not its browsers, that's for sure, but honestly the iChat application on apple computers. That's it. It competes with Skype and only because Apple has helped it out so much. In any case, Now, Facebook is about keeping strangers and strange people out. You obviously don't have close friends because otherwise you'd know that. Honestly, there's nothing more to say. That is what makes facebook awesome, its known, its faster than Myspace, and you choose if you want to screw with your page, otherwise, just reject the zombie application and you'll be fine with a nice lite page that updates you on parties, groups, and tons of cool and interesting Real Life events, with only your closest friends or networks you left of people who were your closest friends, in say, academia.

If your social network is geographically spread, then Facebook aggregates info you would otherwise email. If your social network is spatially close to you, then Facebook aggregates notes for doing things and keeping in touch, just as with the phone. I guess another case is when you do not have a social network - or when you are looking to build one. I see little point in Facebook if your own social network is not there already.
