Good point... but I'm in the boat of "I don't want a swiss-army knife, social website, thing-a-ma-jig"... I want facebook to be good at one thing, which it once was and is no longer. As such, I visit fb about three-quarters as much as I use to...
Similarly, this is why I feel AAPL has gained market share, while MS lags behind tripping over LEGACY support while attempting to please every need of their customer base. And another example is 37signals.
However, like I said... my opinion might be bias. It's hard for me to be objective about Facebook given my distaste for it's recent shifts, and having loved the former.
F'rinstance, why hasn't Vue subclassed the FB Event app to create a cinema trip event that automagically books your ticket? Or Dominos to order pizza for my 'Night of Mayhem'? That's where the value will come from. These all seem so obvious to me...
