Facebook is now the largest social networking site in the world. Awesome. We like those guys. They beat News Corp’s MySpace by being a good software company and focusing on their users and giving them tools to use, like translation tools. Simple. MySpace continues to act like the media company they are, top-down, with local bureaus, focused on selling ads.

Specifically, the translation tools reminds me of a mobile app I want to build whereby I can text message anyone in the world and it instantly translates into the receiver’s language. I would use it when abroad, like when I went to Cannes, because I can’t speak a lick of French. Oh hey maybe this mobile app could be an actual translator of voice. I call someone, they speak Japanese, my voice is translated United Nations style, there’s is as well, we have a conversation. That would be really cool. I could have actual meetings, in person, face-to-face, over a beer or two, with anyone in the world. For now I guess I’ll just do it over Facebook.
