Facebook is My New Boatcar

Blaine Cook, whose argument is similar to Ryan Singel’s article for Wired:

Instead of offering a carefully constructed vehicle that offers amazing social experiences, [Facebook has] created a clumsy boat-car that can never truly compete with more focused sites….

While no one will ever be able to overcome Facebook’s advantage on Facebook’s terms, just as no one was able to defeat Microsoft on Microsoft’s terms, it’s downright easy to create better social experiences than Facebook’s. It’s easy to create better tools than Facebook’s. It’s also easy to imagine a better social environment than theirs. Logging into Facebook is for me like walking into a room where everyone I’ve ever met is standing around, talking to each-other. My bosses, my family, friends old and new, co-workers, acquaintances, everyone!
