Facebook fatigue' kicks in as people tire of social networks

I've been saying this a while (but not online). Social Network engagement is down -- the new economy darling has jumped the shark. The average length of time users spend on all of the top three sites is on the slide. Bebo, MySpace and Facebook all took double-digit percentage hits in the last months of 2007.

Face it: Facebook here to stay.

Facebook is the Web's Hottest Platform - a backgrounder for those who think that this Facebook fad is going nowhere.

$1Million let on Facebook -- too bad no one got in with a foreign currency lending platform!

Facebook enables public search.

Tonight, Facebook launches a “public listing search” which allows anyone to search for a specific person. The company says that the information being revealed through these listings is minimal and much less than the information available to someone logged into the Facebook network.

"A public search listing provides, at most, the name and profile picture of any Facebook member that has their search privacy settings set to “Everyone.” It will show less information about a person than results of a search performed by someone logged in to Facebook. We wanted to give people who had never come to Facebook, or who are not currently registered, the opportunity to discover their friends who are on Facebook."

What does this mean? It means you had better modify your privacy setting for "Everyone" asap! Don't think that what happens in facebook might stay in facebook!
