I'm a big facebooker, I've been on Facebook for years. That being said, I'm not seeing where Beakbook would be a new or an improved idea. In fact, unless I'm not understanding how it would work, we already have Beakbook built into our regular Facebook via using facebook's ability to create groups and lists within your existing friends.
At present I already have friends on FB that are only friends because of their interest in or FB page on chickens. Some are persons, some are businesses, some are organizations, and some are just quirky FB pages about chickens. I already share photos, info, stories, and ask questions of them. As I'm understanding it, Beakbook would be very similar but would be a different social networking group. I'd have to go into a different page, different log in, different password. And I'd only see my Beakbook friends on that page. I can do the very same thing via creating a "Poultry Friends" list on my current FB page and not need to open a second tab, sign up a second time, remember another password.
Unless there's something new on Beakbook that we've not been told about, this appears to be a duplicate of what we already have available through FB. IMO, Beakbook already exists within the current design of Facebook and I don't see the need for a duplicate social network just for poultry friends. As far as the name "Beakbook", I personally don't find it appealing. But, hey, maybe that's just me.
I'm sure it would be exciting to work with and to be associated with Mark Zuckerberg and I'm also sure the Winklevoss twins felt the same way at one time. IMO, proceed with caution.
