It’s been 15 days since I started my “hiatus” from Facebook and Twitter. It hasn’t gone quite as I had hoped. I still find myself reading Twitter from time to time and I’ve played some games on Facebook, but overall my usage of both sites is significantly down. I feel like I’m missing out on lots by not keeping up with either site, but I still feel like this is something I need to continue on with.

The Facebook Platform
The Facebook Platform is going to revolutionize social networks. Where MySpace is tightening restrictions on users and the applications they can use, Facebook is opening themselves up for use with all sorts of applications. This can’t be good news for any of the social networks that are similar to the MySpace model, and yeah I’m talking ’bout Virb as well.Your Facebook profile is now a hub for all of your online data. With Applications, you can pull in your latest diggs, bookmarks, and much, much more. In fact, I believe they’ve only begun to scratch the surface of the capabilities of Facebook Applications. It’s only going to be a matter of time before users start doing everything through the site. (That in and of itself is a scary thought.) For Facebook, it’s definitely a win. The more people that see and use the site, the more revenue they make off of advertising and user data… For application builders, it’s a win as well…
