A few words from Rob Mansfield

Well, Marc Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, can breathe easy. In this month’s issue of Vogue, the MD of Conde Nast, Nicholas Coleridge gives the social media site the thumbs up and explains why everyone’s using it.

When I say everyone, I mean the elite of the fashion world and the social upper class. The likes of Jacquetta Wheeler (who?) and Sienna Miller are on there, so it must be OK.

A round of applause must go to Zuckerberg for managing to create something as classless as Facebook that manages to work its way onto the pages of the magazine world’s most elite publication.

Possibly the most exciting to happen in Facebook for a while.

Mike Butcher on TechCrunch UK reveals that an IM client that works inside Facebook will finally launch this Friday.

Could this kill the likes of AIM or MSN?

The chances are no, clearly, but surely a lot of people will be tempted to simply message within Facebook, rather than having to bother loading up a specific messaging service, especially, if they have friends on more than one already.

A lot of people already do their socialising within Facebook - this will simply encourage people to do it even more.

Called FriendVox, it’s being launched by Techlightenment, the company behind the brilliant Bob Dylan application, so it could be pretty cool.
