I've been hearing lots of grumbles about Facebook on the Interweb.  What started as grumblings about privacy has since moved on to a general discontent with a site that is primarily used for social purposes.  Facebook is big now, second only to MySpace, but while it's still growing, it's need to change into a revenue bearing entity is affecting the user experience.

Some people are starting to take notice.

Is Facebook over?  Of course not.  But it definitely has reached its media peak, and the talk of Facebook becoming the application platform can now be safely laughed out of the room.  Expect growth to continue, but be wary of the numbers.  I'm on Facebook, and I use it purely as a benchmark.  There are a lot of people like me.  We are Legion.
