Facebook will go the way of Myspace, Xanga, Livejournal, Geocities and the AOL profile. All empires will fade, and this one will quickly implode. Facebook doesn't make money...they didn't declare profitability until they had 700Million users...how many are bots? how many are just data-miners? Regardless, they still have not detailed their profit margins...all that data hosting must cost a pretty penny too.

He's smart for doing it. He obviously received a huge sum of money from Apple, to piss off Google, /and/ to work on the iPhone 4.0 social integration.

He's not stupid if he headed the Android division of Google.]]>May 12th 2010 8:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/erick-tseng-leaves-google-and-android-for-facebook/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/erick-tseng-leaves-google-and-android-for-facebook/
"Facebook will go the way of Myspace when the next fad replaces it."

Wow, I havent heard a more clueless response than this one. I know youre just joking, because only a complete idiot would state this. You know facebook has 500 million visitors worldwide, and the only company with more unique visitors is google, right? You know that facebook won the only identity war with facebook connect, something myspace never did, right? You know that the whole "social networks come and go" is a bs statement because its only occured once, from myspace to facebook, right?

Do you know how many sites died and became a fad after becoming the 2nd biggest site in the world? 0. You're a joke with no supporting evidence other than myspace dying to facebook. that doesnt mean social networks are fads, it means myspace sucked so bad people moved on.

You give android this pedastal of greatness. Ever use it? it feels hacked together. Its apps are so much worse than their iphone or webOS counterparts that it is laughable. nexus one icon i see, the screens touch response was so horrible... dont put it in your pocket like a normal phone, it might crack! oh did i mention its design was the ugliest of all phones ive ever seen? 2 tone grey and a redundant trackball on a touchscreen phone? amazing... that makes a lot of sense....]]>May 12th 2010 8:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/erick-tseng-leaves-google-and-android-for-facebook/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/erick-tseng-leaves-google-and-android-for-facebook/gasp

Whatever his spot was at Google, it probably pales in comparison to this one, total package considered. So I fail to see why some are calling him an idiot. Google has $$, true, but how much of it were they giving to him?]]>May 12th 2010 10:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/erick-tseng-leaves-google-and-android-for-facebook/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/erick-tseng-leaves-google-and-android-for-facebook/http://bit.ly/nexus-one-flash-updates-and-mashup]]>May 13th 2010 2:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/erick-tseng-leaves-google-and-android-for-facebook/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/erick-tseng-leaves-google-and-android-for-facebook/May 12th 2010 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/erick-tseng-leaves-google-and-android-for-facebook/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/erick-tseng-leaves-google-and-android-for-facebook/May 12th 2010 4:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/erick-tseng-leaves-google-and-android-for-facebook/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/erick-tseng-leaves-google-and-android-for-facebook/

He'll need the luck. Why he would leave Google for the disaster that is Facebook is beyond me. ]]>May 12th 2010 7:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/erick-tseng-leaves-google-and-android-for-facebook/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/erick-tseng-leaves-google-and-android-for-facebook/May 13th 2010 3:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/erick-tseng-leaves-google-and-android-for-facebook/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/erick-tseng-leaves-google-and-android-for-facebook/May 12th 2010 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/erick-tseng-leaves-google-and-android-for-facebook/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/erick-tseng-leaves-google-and-android-for-facebook/

I dunno... I just feel like the stuff coming from Google requires some amount of creativity, while Facebook is just kinda plodding along, making itsy-bitsy changes without warning and pissing off all its users all over again. :/]]>May 12th 2010 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/erick-tseng-leaves-google-and-android-for-facebook/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/erick-tseng-leaves-google-and-android-for-facebook/
I'm not sure I could work for a place that expects me to never want to leave...no matter what they pay me (maybe, if we're talking early retirement kind of money). The perks are so good, because they don't want you to have a life outside of their world.]]>May 12th 2010 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/erick-tseng-leaves-google-and-android-for-facebook/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/erick-tseng-leaves-google-and-android-for-facebook/

As I said somwhere else, Froyo will be a huge success. He's going out on a high note. Now its time to get paid... maybe get paid so much he can start considering plans for an early retirement.
