Nope, you can't have it both ways.

It's a social utility because it opened its gates to third-party developers who are now using Facebook as a social backbone instead of creating their own social networks. It's fighting the social-network-bloat that Safran hates by making itself the center of the social universe. And it's working. (News organizations should be jumping on this, I might add.) Click on my name for Wired's take on Facebook -- Zuckerberg the next Gates? Jobs? Facebook is different than MySpace and Linkedin and the rest.

I'm going to be launching a "social network utility" that should solve a lot of problems and change the face of my industry (RE). Next time we hang out we'll have to chat? Hopefully, you will be coming to our Halloween Party! Steve. I’m going to be launching a “social network utility” that should solve a lot of problems and change the face of my industry (RE).
