Is it really shocking that Facebook copied something? Almost every feature of their site is a copy of something else.

I seriously can't understand the hype that still exists around facebook.
I found a site www.sevenload.co.uk where you can upload your own content, share it
and join groups etc. Its easier to manage friends and theres branded shows included!

Why is everyone forgetting that when Facebook first launched newsfeed, there used to be a Digg-like thumbs-up/thumbs-down voting system? They took that away a few months later, but it was there in the first place â€“ so Facebook seems to simply be resurrecting it in a new incarnation. Sure, a marginally ripped off one, but still an iteration of an old feature they used to have.

Either way, it's clearly a need-driven addition. As people start to use the status update feature more and more, some even as a substitute for Twitter, there's "friend data overload" â€“ it'll be neat to have a way for controlling the kind of information you're shown in the future, almost like choosing whom to follow on Twitter. Not everyone who's a "friend" or even an interesting person makes for interesting updates.

It's just smart of Facebook, really. Simple feature, very likely to be used heavily. THe quesiton is whether likes will bump up a news feed story like it does with FF.

Copying is never good. However, if they do end up copying I rather have the same terminology. FF has likes for news feeds and
messages. I was recently wondering if twitter will ever get a similar feature http://www.kiranslog.com/wh...
