Want to scale a system which can handle over 300 million monthly users, approximately half of which are logging in daily?

@You Can Now Tag Users, Pages, And Apps On Facebook
Last week we wrote about Facebook’s new tagging functionality but as of this afternoon the feature finally went live. While the functionality is no different than initially described, many users are finding that this transforms the overall user experience. There are also many objects on Facebook which still can’t be tagged with applications and pages such as photos. You also can’t include tags within Facebook messages but I’d expect more robust tagging functionality to be added over the coming weeks and months.
So does this new functionality eliminate the need for Twitter? No, but it most definitely helps users to…

fbFund Startup Thread.com Gets $1.2 Million In Funding
Today at the fbFund REV demo day, Thread.com (formally “Frinto”) announced that they have received funding from a number of well known valley investors. Thread.com leverages Facebook Connect to create a site for social dating via friendly introductions. While Facebook has a number of large dating applications, none of them work quite as smoothly as this one.
Interestingly enough there are a number of dating applications that are attempting to do the same thing but none have relied solely on Facebook Connect. Honestly, I think it’s a great idea and given that users can instantly bring along their contacts when…

If Twitter’s Worth $10 Billion, Facebook Is Worth $100 Billion
Robert Scoble wrote a late night post over the weekend which suggests Twitter is worth between $5 and $10 billion dollars based on a sampling of businesses in approximately 8 cities. What sort of math was used to deduce this valuation? Absolutely none, but if you want to purchase shares at such a ridiculous valuation, Howard Lindzon will sell shares to you. Scoble’s post simultaneously hypes the already bloated Twitter bubble while making jabs at Facebook.
Back in March, Robert Scoble was saying the exact opposite. Scoble is pretty good at writing a headline which will drive a lot of…

New Facebook Privacy Policies Will Have A Significant Impact On Platform Applications
As a result of a new privacy agreement with Canada, Facebook has issued statements suggesting that there could be major platform changes ahead for developers. In a blog post this morning, Ethan Beard suggests that users may have to explicitly opt-in to granting profile information. This news comes as Facebook is under increasing scrutiny from privacy advocates including the California ACLU chapter which has released a new quiz application to inform users of what data applications have access to.
In a blog post on the Facebook developers blog today, Ethan Beard writes:
When users authorize an application, they will have…
