It's no secret that more and more startups are turning to social media as a channel to spread their ideas or even utilize the social trend as the basis for their business entirely. Facebook's announcement a couple weeks ago about spreading Facebook across the web at the F8 Conference takes all of this to a whole new level. If you aren't up to speed on what happened there, you can check out some of the coverage on TechCrunch.

What's interesting about what Facebook is doing is not so much the "social plugins" they are making available to sites across the web, but the general concept that Facebook wants to "build a web where the default is social", as Zuckerberg commented.

Wow. Social, huh? Thanks for clearing that up. Seriously though the interesting aspect of all this is the idea of a new paradigm based on the choice of millions of (human) users rather than algorithms and spiders. What a concept. Of course, how it plays out remains to be seen. Thanks for the post. Some great ideas shared.
