Today Facebook, Tomorrow the World | Epicenter With a dizzying array of announcements this week, it seems almost inevitable that the web will become, at least for the near future, an extension of Facebook. Like it or not. In some ways it’s a great development, making it simpler to connect what you read, watch and listen to. But there’s a nagging suspicion that when Facebook says it’s simply reacting to changing norms about how public we want our lives to be, that it’s actually forging that condition, not reacting to it. And when I say forging, I intend both meanings of the word. The question is whether you are actually using Facebook to keep in touch with your friends and family — or whether Facebook is just using you. With a few deft maneuvers, Facebook is aiming to make itself the center of the internet, the central repository and publisher of what users like and do online. Facebook’s main lever to get all this data funneled to them is a simple “I Like” button, which websites can embed on their pages with very little effort.

Inside AdSense Facebook’s ambition Ambition. It’s the one word that kept coming up in conversations I had around the halls today at Facebook’s F8 event. Whenever I heard that word it was clear we were talking about Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook. OK, I heard another few words: “Visionary.” “Scary.” “Huge.” “Unbelieveable.” “Blown away.” “Zuck has balls.” or “Facebook has balls.” “Big moves.” Heck, listen to David Kirkpatrick, who worked for Fortune for more than 20 years and just finished a book, Facebook Effect, about Facebook. Listen to the words he uses: “This is not just another company, it is a transformational phenomenon.” “It is really great, but it is really scary in some ways too.” By the way, after I talk with David I talk with quite a few other movers and shakers in the tech press in that video so you can get a sense of how we all reacted to the news. Before I explain more about what I mean when I say Facebook wants to own your digital fingerprints, there are a few other reactions I want to get in here.
