In a Facebook world, what’s a social network to do?

It can be argued that Facebook is now the de facto online social network with almost 500 million registered users, with only a few countries such as China (QQ), Russia (Vkontakte), Japan (Mixi) and Brazil (Orkut) left where it is not the dominant social force. Facebook has been especially successful in expanding geographically via local language implementations and is now taking this further by also extending users’ social graphs and activities to the wider web through its Open Graph tools (announced at their F8 conference last week).

I think the facebook status update makes feedalizr the must have web 2.0 killer app (if I may say so myself – and you guys can flame me cause I am wearing kevlar !).

Enjoy!
