Facebook

[update 18 August 2010: added +1 to HYPERLOCAL following Facebook's alliances and release of their PLACES API]

[update 18 May 2010; increased by ONE star the ADAPTABILITY ranking after Facebook announces launch of 0.facebook.com, a mobile phone site that incurs no data fees -- enabling more international users.]

[update 29 April 2010: based on recent positive activity, I have increased Facebook's ADAPTABILITY score by +1 star; they are now my highest rated smartphone-related service, surpassing Android.]
