Will Facebook Lose Steam?

I was reading Fred Wilson’s post about how Facebook is not an open platform and may never be. He is right and the race is on to see who can most effectively create an open platform that can aggregate all of an individual’s public facing information. It’s the identity debate that has been raging for the past two years but has gained traction when Facebook opened up their platform. While we still have a long way to go, Fred Wilson points out that once the Techcrunch 50,000 find an open platform that they can control, they may leave Facebook.
