Note how they copied facebook's slogan:

my.com :My.com is a social tool that helps you stay connected with your friends, family, and co-workers

facebook: Facebook is a social utility that connects you with the people around you.

This will be awesome, because although all my friends are spread over several IM systems like MSN, AIM etc.. they are all at Facebook!

Awesome :D

The Uber-Addict:
Not only checks Facebook 24/7, but also checks 3 blogs ABOUT facebook on a daily basis. Can't wait for chat too to spend even more time on FB.

Apparently Facebook sued StudiVZ too in return, as this website says (German): http://www.mehrblog.net/2008/07/20/studivz-klag...

Being German and spending quiet a big share of my time there and having many people there, I think that Facebook is performing much better there than is suggested by German and international media.

Facebook is *way* increasing its userbase especially among *hip*, urban, affluent, young people, which are the main adverrtising target. Most of my German friends do have fb and all those who have both facebook and studivz do in fact prefer facebook over studivz.

A problem though is that the German translation of Facebook is in very bad German, maybe due to the language's complexity and that apps arent translated at all.
