No I don't think so. Facebook's whole monetizing model is based upon owning the user profile data and the social graph. And they mean business with the upcoming announcements on how they are going to change the advertisement business to include social graph info. It seems to me they will not break down these walls as long as they keep so much control to themselves. The problem lies in the business model, providing free services and monetizing them via ads are the way things work around web 2.0, but it won't last in my opinion. Actually, Rolf Skyberg wrote a good article about that earlier too. I just wrote a post about that a few minutes ago in which I boldy predict the countdown for the downfall of Facebook has started ;-) http://vanelsas.wordpress.com/2007/10/24/counting-down-the-downfalll-of-facebook-as-they-set-to-introduce-major-ad-play/ @Simon.

And I enjoyed your detailed post "10 Ways To Improve Web 2.0..." Do you not think that Facebook, in opening up its API, is not attempting to pull down the traditional "walled gardens" you speak of? Alexander, I appreciate the comment.

Although I saw a nice article just now that showed a survey result of 7 out of 10 Americans having search engine fatigue, I think the real difference will be Interaction. That is what life is all about, people love to interact. The walled gardens over at all the social networks, and their efforts in putting value into a network insted of creating value for its users, inhibit true interaction. The service creators that will overcome that will be the clear winners. http://vanelsas.wordpress.com/2007/10/11/10-ways-to-improve-web-20-and-move-into-an-era-of-true-interaction/ In my humble opinion (I don’t have the excellent experience of John Doerr) discovery is just one aspect of what the next generation services should be thinking about.
