Perhaps, but I've always been a little ahead of the curve. ;)

Seriously though, it'd be impossible for anyone outside facebook to provide any hard proof of their utilization. From the outside, it's all speculation.

What is your estimate on FB's future? Here's my prediction: Facebook users revolt. Another social network evolves, or an existing one becomes the dominant, perhaps orkut or ning, or foursquare. I'm not sure I'm just an observer, but I think within the two to three year mark, facebook will be about as popular among the "in crowd" as myspace is right now and we'll be talking about some other network in 10 posts to the front page of HN.

Facebook will try to get someone to buy them for maybe a couple hundred million. Tons of investors will be angry. Mark will be declared the egomaniac who didn't know when to quit and he'll struggle for the rest of his life to find another successful project.
