Comments on: Getting philosophical about Facebook's new hub

What's with the map? Here's why I think that the social network decided to redesign the page you see when you haven't yet logged in or signed up for an account.

It does look like Facebook is going after a more international audience. They are still going to remain in the social space, but just gain more international audience.

Can a pure play mobile social network (msn) compete with Facebook? I?d say you have a better chance opening a steak house in a vegan community. At WHERE, we made the decision early on that a msn needed to be enhanced with content, which will drive more adoption and repeat usage. Content and the places that a user connects with become part of their network especially as they share those POIs with friends. It?s not only about people, but places of interest that you want to share with friends.
