Founder Mark Zuckerberg and the other executives at Facebook changed social networking forever on Thursday, with the announcement that their site would no longer be just a place for people to link up with friends, join interest groups and share multimedia content. Instead, Facebook will be more like a new sort of desktop where members can find and launch programs, and merchants can gain an audience and make money. The new Facebook functions now exist on top of the basic social structure of the site.
This move is both gutsy and brilliant.
