Will Facebook Lay the Smackdown?

Christopher Beam has written an article about how Facebook can crush MySpace, Yahoo!, and Google. While the article doesn’t effectively explain how they can do this, it’s a great title and there are some good points made. One topic that is touched on is the backlash occurring against the massive addition of thousands of applications to the platform. This is an understandable backlash given that everyone’s feeds are getting polluted with all the application additions and removals.
