"Quantum computers take advantage of the laws of quantum physics to provide new computational capabilities. While quantum mechanics has been foundational to the theories of physics for about a hundred years the picture of reality it paints remains enigmatic. This is largely because at the scale of our every day experience quantum effects are vanishingly small and can usually not be observed directly. Consequently, quantum computers astonish us with their abilities. Let’s take unstructured search as an example. Assume I hide a ball in a cabinet with a million drawers. How many drawers do you have to open to find the ball? Sometimes you may get lucky and find the ball in the first few drawers but at other times you have to inspect almost all of them. So on average it will take you 500,000 peeks to find the ball. Now a quantum computer can perform such a search looking only into 1000 drawers. This mind boggling feat is known as Grover’s algorithm."

How do I know we're not normal? Only about 10% of Americans have been on Twitter so far. So, we're defacto NOT normal by being on Twitter.

"Five years from now, Facebook will not be a household brand. Like GeoCities and TheGlobe.com before it, today's hot Web communities are tomorrow's graveyards, as a fickle Web audience will continue to move from one destination to the next, leaving behind ignored friend requests and a a river of bad HTML in their wake."

Also: "I don't have a Facebook login, don't have access, and don't want it. Why, when there is so much content and real-time collaboration and conversation going on outside of the walls of Facebook, would I take the extra effort to share in conversations and faux digital friendships to a more limited audience? It just doesn't make sense."

Sadly I have to agree with you LG. Facebook held by attention for less than a year. Twitter has had little real impact. Friendfeed and Ecademy remain my favourites because they are real clubs, gangs, groups dare I say proper communities not machines. Jason Goldberg (Social Median) has left Xing inside a year after the sale. Xing's another machine. Humans want relationship software not efficient dishwasher software with zero humanity. Google needs to humanize. Wave is the start but remains (currently) poor.
- Thomas Power
Thomas, Facebook and Twitter aren't going anywhere any time soon - look at the stats
- Jesse Stay
I agree Jesse I follow the stats here http://www.quantcast.com/top-sit... and I realize they are not going anywhere for the mass market just arriving. However they are not able to hold my attention as a super user or power user and if they don't ultimately I know from experience (since 1994) they will decline. There's an old saying "easy come, easy go". Remember MySpace. Friendfeed and Ecademy are slow hard builds that few understand.
- Thomas Power
Just remember, once upon a time AOL was really big. When facebook finally falls, you can point to your old post and say you were right. :-P

Its all about attention, and the 'moment' - 5 years from now, those below 25 will be more proactive to communicating about issues that matter most - like the state of their world - they'll want to repair what their elders have destroyed! FB will hopefully see the changing trend and re-adapt.
- AainaA-Ridtz A.R
hear hear April. Hear hear. Sounds like you lost interest in them too. Have you?
- Thomas Power
Thomas, I wouldn't be comparing Facebook to MySpace. I would be comparing them to Google. You guys are looking at the wrong comparisons. (I wrote 2 entire books on this, so I too have done my research)
- Jesse Stay
Wasn't their a report about Facebooks users starting to slough off a bit recently, within the past month?
- Jimminy
Facebook is not just a site it's a platform, and you have to take that into account when comparing them
- Jesse Stay
Jimminy, Facebook is growing as fast as they always have: http://siteanalytics.compete.com/faceboo...
- Jesse Stay
OK Jesse I'm listening. I know Google is ranked 1 by Alexa and Facebook is ranked 2. I know Facebook is a monster and a platform. Are you really saying they can catch a business now selling $500m a week of Google Ads? Not a chance in hell sorry.
- Thomas Power
In fact they took a jump last month based on that report
- Jesse Stay
OK I get the platform thing. Tell me where they are going to get $500m a week of ads from?
- Thomas Power
Thomas is talking about relevance and revenue. Jesse is talking about traffic and a platform. It is easy to look backward, but what is forward?
- Louis Gray
Thomas, they're already making money off ads. Facebook is profitable.
- Jesse Stay
my primary use for facebook is a handful of games and for dragging friends to friendfeed. (say hello to my latest convert, Carol Haynes: http://friendfeed.com/carolha... )
- April Russo (app103)
Facebook has something even more powerful than Google has to profit from - the Social Graph. Wait until they have ways to profit off Facebook Connect. I predict it's coming.
- Jesse Stay
I know they're profitable but $10m a week is a long way from $500m a week. First place is 50 times ahead of second place. That takes some catching. Now if they acquire a cellphone network then you get me thinking.
- Thomas Power
Thomas I didn't say they were Google yet but they will be just as successful if not more. Their revenue is up and to the right, not declining.
- Jesse Stay
couldn't Google provide a Social Graph in one day from user logins?
- Thomas Power
Facebook credits are also about to launch
- Jesse Stay
Thomas, Google has tried - no one wants to use it. They have Orkut, iGoogle, Gmail, Friend Connect, plenty of opportunities.
- Jesse Stay
Jesse, at 300MM users that's not even showing a 50% usage rate, I think it would be interesting to see what the user retention is currently. I'm one of those uniques but I'm only there at most once a week.
- Jimminy
Yes I agree they are VERY successful. But they are not holding my attention as a user. Mainly because of this silly 5000 (we haven't got enough servers) friends limit.
- Thomas Power
Thomas, that's fine - you're not the majority
- Jesse Stay
Jimminy, again, look at the stats - you're wrong
- Jesse Stay
Anyway, back to Mario Kart - will be back in a sec...
- Jesse Stay
Jesse, I was looking at the stats. They hit 300MM users in October. The compete stats, while growing, are showing only 128MM unique visitors, and that's only comparing those two numbers, it would be interesting to view their percentage over the past few years, to see if retention is going up with total user base or decreasing.
- Jimminy
I'm certainly not the majority I'm a trend setter (Ecademy 1998). I know and go where the flow is. FB's acquisition of FF has intrigued me. I want Google to have a decent rival. Clearly MS can't do it with 15 years and $15bn practice. I just want to see where oh where can FB generate $500m a week from? And believe me I WANT to see them pull if off. Murdoch believes Google's success is just newspaper theft. LOL.
- Thomas Power
Mario Kart. Sorry Jesse and there's me thinking we had something going here.
- Thomas Power
As did I, Thomas - what's wrong with Mario Kart?
- Jesse Stay
Nothing. I just ain't no computer gamer. COD is for kids (and grown up ones too).
- Thomas Power
Thomas, neither am I, but this is a ton of fun! :-)
- Jesse Stay
Nothing wrong with Mario Kart. Got a friend that wrote an online multiplayer version. Unfortunately nobody can play it any more since it requires the microsoft jvm installed and nobody has that any more. http://www.htmlgamez.com/marioka...

LOL. Google traffic flat http://siteanalytics.compete.com/google... Facebook traffic flattening http://siteanalytics.compete.com/faceboo... There's no $500m a week business here for Facebook. Not without a cellphone network.
- Thomas Power
Coming from the CEO of one of Facebook's competitors? Hmm...I'm not going to win this one am I?
- Jesse Stay
Wow what an honour a little tiny guy like me compared to FB. I bow down to the compliment Jesse but believe me I ain't no competitor. Ecademy is 300,000 of my mates http://www.quantcast.com/ecademy... not 300 million.
- Thomas Power
Jesse, Thomas is not CEO of Ecademy, he is the Chairman. And Ecademy is not competing with Facebook. They are a social business network focused on future relationships, not like business networks that are focused on past relationships.
- Louis Gray
LG wrote this yesterday and caused a real stir http://www.ecademy.com/node.... LG is a very cheeky devil. And he knows it too.
- Thomas Power
Aren't you 3 years too early to say you were wrong?
- Andy Bakun
Ecademy needs to get a Facebook Connect integration then :-)
- Jesse Stay
Andy what you are referring to? And Jesse coming next month.
- Thomas Power
Thomas, just wait until your users can buy things on Ecademy.com with Facebook credits :-)
- Jesse Stay
hey now you're talking Jesse. Tell us more how that would work? Hat and eating is coming to mind.
- Thomas Power
Thomas, Andy was referring to LG's claim that within 5 years Facebook would be on the outs, just 2(nearly 3) years ago.
- Jimminy
Thomas, it's already in production for a few apps - see my article here: http://staynalive.com/article... - now just wait until every Connect-enabled site has access to this. Add that to a more open search than Facebook has currently, their existing ad revenue, an ad platform for Facebook Connect, and more - you've got a serious revenue stream there.
- Jesse Stay
It will work. To understand why it would, one only has to read the full article here, paying attention to the end of it where he states what is needed for a full scale success of a micropayment system and why others have failed. http://www.donationcoder.com/Article...
- April Russo (app103)
Thank you Jimminy. Jesse sorry this is my first time on your blog. Brilliant. Alexa rank 118,217 versus 53,308 for LG. Scobleizer has you both whipped at 22,006. I really like your blog thanks for the link.
- Thomas Power
Thank you Thomas - I'm not really trying to go for traffic, but I appreciate when others appreciate what I write.

Hey Jesse c'mon "the winner of the game is the one with all the names". Zuckerberg has won round two. Traffic counts. Yahoo won round one.
- Thomas Power
BTW, keep in mind that Zynga has 250 million users (or so) - just wait until they integrate Facebook credits into their Farmville and other apps
- Jesse Stay
Oooh those are BIG numbers. Who owns Zynga? Or should I say who will own Zynga?
- Thomas Power
and remember Facebook has an Ads API as well - they haven't even begun promoting that as a Connect possibility
- Jesse Stay
Thomas, I think Zynga owns Zynga :-)

Almost makes me want to become a facebook app developer...but I don't like the idea of putting all my eggs in one basket and relying on the health of a 3rd party site. If/when facebook goes belly-up, it would take all my apps with it.

If you're really looking for the future, check out what Kynetx is doing: http://kynetx.com - you should build for that platform. That's the future (and I predict Facebook will also join this standard)
- Jesse Stay
Yeah well there is also the issue of playing by someone else's rules. I have never been one that likes to do that. I like making my own rules.
- April Russo (app103)
April, that's the pain of any 3rd party platform, yes. Look at Kynetx if you don't want to play by others' rules
- Jesse Stay
I'll have to take a closer look at that when I have some free time to devote to it. (January, things will slow down some for me)

Very cool of Louis to engage in this bit of self-analysis and self-criticism (reminds me a bit of Andrew Sullivan's thoughtful introspection regarding his former enthusiasm for the Iraq War). But LG may still be right in the long term.

I think he gave a very appropriate response. The name DOES violate an Apple trademark and Apple is required by law to enforce that lest they lose their trademark. Changing the name of your app is not a big deal. It's not like Apple asked them to stop selling the application entirely.
