My Facebook problem: Whenever I go on their site I get a terrible Facebook headache. It's like being in a loud restaurant, a packed mall, and a crowded amusement park at the same time.
And it's going to be a whole lot worse with the new features. But at they'll be able a to recommend you the best LOLcat picture based on your and your friends' online behavior.
I think Facebook has touched the lives of a lot more people than Apple. My mom doesn't know what Apple is, but she has a Facebook account. Also, Apple products are expensive, Facebook is free.
Why are all the unfun things making it big? By unfun I mean being at the mercy of megacorps (Apple, Facebook, Google). So we had a couple of good years with the internet and individuality, and now it is supposed to be all over?
Is this because of the innate herd nature of the human race, that is, people just like being told what to do?

It'd be interesting to see where facebook falls flat. If Foursquare doesn't get brought out, I'm guessing it's in the mobile location space.

And maintaining independence takes a lot of effort, which isn't fun.
