"So what is causing the delay? The likely culprit is disagreement on the design, purpose and execution of the project. One of our sources told us that he/she has heard “tales of disorganization and too many different teams working parallel or in conflict.”"

Paul it must be a relief that you can post on these matters now that you are no longer associated with Facebook or Google.

Well obviously, they need to throw more people at it :)

Around the same time you posted this, Peter posted a link to a blog post praising the culture of engineers at Google http://friendfeed.com/peterno... But I think that culture can also be a problem. Engineers can make the coolest products in the world, but do they understand how the masses are using social? How frictionless it needs to be? How, as Charlene Li says, in the future social will just be "like air"? If Google can't get all that right, they won't be competing well in this space, and their track record is not good, I'm afraid.
