Facebook Talk

Yet another one of the many competitors gunning for Facebook is a websites called MyYearBook. From first glance, it looks like a cheap kids site with pictures of teenagers on it, and when you break it down, that’s exactly what the site is. It’s not clean or precise like Facebook, nor is it pretty to look at with so much information crammed onto one page.

Techcrunch, however, reports that one of MyYearBook’s biggest claims is to have more highschool users than Facebook, which might be true. Those are the exact users they should be targeting. But given that the site feels and looks clunky, it’s hard to imagine that most of the current members won’t switch over to Facebook sooner rather than later.

Of course, the same could be said about MySpace, and look how that’s turned out.

Okay, maybe the CIA isn’t so much reading your profile as they have set up a Facebook group in an effort to recruit new employees. Who knows, that guy who just posted drunken pictures on your wall might actually be our countries newest spy.

Studivz, the German clone of Facebook, has been sold for a reported $100 million euros. That’s $100,000,000 euros, folks, which is absolutely crazy seeing as how euros are much more valuable than USD these days. The managing staff will remain on-board to run things with the only difference between yesterday and tomorrow being they’re now filthy rich.

If a German Facebook can get so much money, Facebook’s decision to hold out for $2 billion USD is looking better and better with each passing day.
