Review: I was a sophmore when Facebook began to get popular and I graduated last May from Cal. Me and my friends still use Facebook often. It is a way to remain linked with your friends from college. I also have a Myspace account which i use for completely different reasons. I disagree with the assertion that once students graduate that they will leave Facebook. The only way that changes is if they make Facebook like Myspace. Leave it alone or we will leave.

Review: I just made a MySpace accout but don't like it that much beacuse of the privacy. Im going to sign up for Facebook. It's much better for what I heard. The people are younger. Yahoo doesn't need to buy Facebook. It's good just the way it is with people young and not 50-year- old people trying to find someone.

Review: I am a member of Facebook and MySpace. I have two very different groups of friends on each network. Most people I know do not bother to have accounts with both. The two social networking sites have unique benefits. As an early-twenties female, I appreciate the privacy that Facebook offers, and would be afraid that Yahoo would compromise that privacy. I think it's the privacy of Facebook that allows the site to maintain its users--probably the reason some of my friends prefer to have Facebook and not MySpace.

Review: As a current university student I don't believe Facebook being bought by Yahoo would be a wise decision. There are numerous protests on Facebook against even some of the small changes the current owners of Facebook do. With Yahoo trying to make the site more like MySpace they'll lose a large portion of their current base and start getting the emo-goth bands and 50-year-old men wearing lingerie that already has made many MySpace users sign off for good. Keep Facebook by the students and for the students of higher education (and now high schools and business).

Review: I'm usually on top of these little sites that connect people and usually hear about them from other people, but I haven't cared a bit to create a Facebook account. There are just so many new sites of this sort coming up all the time. I think it would be a bad move.

Review: Sounds like AOL/Time Warner all over again! If the leadership at Yahoo! continues to greatly enrich themselves with billions of options, while driving down the value of the stock, maybe Facebook's savy leaders should buy Yahoo?

Review: What disappoints me about Yahoo is that they always seem to be playing catch up and not getting anywhere fast. Their smaller acquisitions (Flikr, Del.icio.us et al) have done very well. Big money deals rarely pay off like MySpace already has done for Fox. There is so much talk about college kids and their social networks. Why don't people focus on what we really want when frosh is all over: internerships then jobs! I, like many of my friends at Princeton, found my first job on a really cool, niche, invite only Web site called Doostang (www.doostang.com and check on links such as success stories and am amusing blog). Doostang is a great community where we can find what we want and get expert career advice. Makes more sense (given above record) that Yahoo pay $40 million for Doostang and grow it rather than $1.4 billion for a fad that has already hit its peak.

Review: Facebook needs to focus on keeping the post-grads by finding a way to have them connect to other alumni once they start a new job and/or move to a new location. One of the major characteristics of Facebook, and not MySpace, is that it has a connection to higher-level education.

Review: About the Yahoo/Facebook deal, once a student leaves school, Facebook becomes "old school," therefore its relationship longevity with individual users is far more limited than the longevity of the relationship these same individuals are likely to have with sites like MySpace.

Review: One way that Yahoo can sustain the interest in consumers after they leave college is to open the barriers that Facebook has. You can only look at the profile of other people in your university network. You should be able to look at all user's profile s(unless they have blocked it to people they know). The service should not be as university/college oriented so people will still use the Facebook when they leave school.
