• Twitter-like micro blogging
• Inter-site data sharing (most likely through facebook apps)
• A more effective way to absorb all the new data

Looking at Mark’s past, knowing his ambitious nature, I wouldn’t put it past him if he’s thinking of making Facebook into an operating system.  I think the industry is coming to the point where niche operating systems could be successful.  Ladies and gentlemen, an introduction to the first social-based operating system.

fPhone?  …maybe I should stay out of marketing.

Setting aside the dramatics of his statement (and not taking the prediction too literally), is he right?  How much more information are people willing to share?  Well obviously unlike transistors in a circuit, each person varies significantly in the amount of information they will share.  The more outgoing people who need to put out all the information as possible, and the shut-ins will keep everything to themselves.  But… even the most exclusive of shut-ins I will bet have at least 1 thing on the internet; next year will they have 2?

Note: My wife just leaned over, bravely battling a cold, to change her Facebook status to “… is sick.”  A very fitting interruption to say the least.

I was initially going to try and fight this bold prediction, but I have a feeling it might be spot on.
