Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg was on the CBS program 60 minutes recently. The footage showed some clips of the facebook offices that look very much like a dorm, as Zuckerberg himself says.

One of the opinionists in the feature said that facebook might become a threat to Google. I think this idea is a bit far fetched. Unlike facebook, Google solves a very distinct and important need on the internet - the need to find information. While Facebook's role as an aid to social interaction is currently very popular, this human requirement can be fulfilled without the use of facebook (Instant Messaging, email etc), as well as without the use of the internet entirely.

On a different note but still on the topic of facebook, the guardian had an article on the politics of the people behind the site. Some of them are also part of the Paypal Mafia.
