We’ve seen iPhoto integration with Facebook?

Will the company show up this Monday?

We wouldn’t be surprised.

The one party left out of the dialogue and media brouhaha?

Developers.

It should be clear what that says about Facebook’s priorities.

A better question is whether an alternative service can- and will- surface. If you can answer that, you know what will happen to Facebook.

We blogged about the slow rollout of F8.

It continues. Platform bugs persist and the Open Graph API has been unstable.

How will it all shake out for users?

Anyone claiming to know is guessing.

Facebook has begun rolling out their Wikipedia stuffed community pages.

The question is whether they’ll any have any real value of their own. Will users voluntarily contribute to and edit these pages? If so, then are these pages a combination of Wikia and Knol- except successful?

Obviously, a lot happened at F8.

A few notes:

1. How will brands decide whether a fan page or like button is better? In addition, when will we see full details about like button publishing to user streams?

2. Will Facebook exert its might and, eventually, force developers to use Facebook Credits?

3. To some degree, our biggest frustration relates to the top two points. F8 aims to be a Steve Jobs style unveiling of great and magical things. But products are rarely fully available at launch. Will that change in the future? The current lag causes significant and unnecessary confusion.

Predictions for the big conference? Hopes? Worries?

Facebook is leaping into a lot of new spaces, including CPA offers, web-wide analytics, and more. f8 is bound to have at least a few big announcements.

We’ve been through a few years of Facebook Platform.

Now an analytics package by Kontangent has launched.

One takeaway: don’t trust revenue projections from third party companies.

Skip them.

Facebook announced community pages- pages that are for abstract topics or groups.

Our take?

Don’t bother- if you make a page, you need to be able to use it to communicate with your fans. Community page rights, privileges, and plans are unclear. So, for the time being, you should pass them by.

Throughout the week, rumors have circulated about a universal “like button” appearing across the web.

That relates to similar rumors about the chance to make any webpage a “page.”

For brands, however, these opportunities reveal a lot of questions about how to navigate a constantly changing social world. What’s the right way to engage with consumers? At this point, nobody knows the answer.
