As I was taking my usual excursion through the facebook blog, I met one post that my eyes couldn't help but single it out. Let me make the picture clear first. The facebook blog is a community blog with approximately over 30 bloggers and about 20 blogging categories. The blog gives its readers total freedom to browse the frequently published posts by providing its archives either by date of post, category or blogger. In short, it's a Blog worth it!
The post that I have just mentioned, was short, simple, straight to the point and well intended. But what I found strange, in an amusing way, was the opinion that was communicated. The blogger suggested that people on facebook should consider using the 'page' as a means to share photos, videos, music, and all that can be shared.
In other words, the suggestion is that everyone on facebook should have a page, and this conclusion is simply because everyone on facebook shares.
Suppose this would be the case, what would facebook be like?

Let's mull over some of the side effects:
- How many facebook friends do you have? Imagine getting an invitation from everyone of them asking you to be a fan of their pages. Don't forget that thia would be compulsory because that's the place they would be sharing.
- What would happen to the wall? This is just too hard to imagine!
- Would you be ready to take up the whole responsibility of web-mastering a page? And since the main purpose of your page would be to share, it would have to be fully interractive. That is, dynamic, not static. Are you getting the picture? micro-media flash... down loadable widgets... frequently updated sections...
