"Radical openness that doesn’t attempt to tie the user to any particular site. That, however, doesn’t seem to offer a great revenue opportunity."
Why not? Are any of us tied to Google search? We could easily use Yahoo or Ask.
Closed systems work but they also lead to closed innovation. Isolationism always kills innovation.

I especially like the last point:
"What can beat Facebook’s openness? Radical openness that doesn’t attempt to tie the user to any particular site. That, however, doesn’t seem to offer a great revenue opportunity."
OpenID needs to become more transparently useful to people, too. Right now most aren't getting it like they get Facebook.

In my mind Bebo is alot more Advanced than Myspace, Facebook. Anyone who gives Bebo a chance will be very suprised. I have been a member of Bebo for about 2 years now and in the last 6 months Bebo has really come into its own. You watch Bebo shall take over the social networking world I can say that as I know how great Bebo really is.
