Do We Need Another Social Network?
It seems you can't take two steps without stepping over a mention of Facebook. Just in the past week, I've attended a launch of two new phones (the budget-priced HTC ChaCha and Salsa, and yes, those are the product names), both of which feature prominent "F" buttons.
