mbcasey: Personal disclosure: I choose not to be on facebook. I don't tweet either.
No company is infallable. What happened to the mega giants like AT&T, IBM, the big 3 auto makers, or even Myspace?
Facebook will fade one day and be replaced by something new and improved. Then that company will be replaced....
I think the technology will change that people 100 years from now will laugh at us for networking on sites such as Facebook. There might be a revolution towards introspect and privacy where we don't want any new friend's requests from total strangers, or don't want to meet up with people in high school who snubbed you everyday.
Also as each new generation comes up from the ranks, their world is 1000 times much smaller than our world was when some of us old-timers were young pups. Facebook, myfriends, CS, turning on a computer were so novel to us we ate up everything and anything new and hip. Kids today might think Facebook is pretty boring or passe' and are more interested in actually being away from their computer and doing something else.
At least I hope that is the case....
one thing for sure, it is always changing in the computer world,,,and when the flock folds the money goes. lol
It's the person's profile to control if he/she wants to keep their profile private, that's how they're able to block you. It's the people causing the hate and I am sure facebook doesn't mean to do that, it's the people who can't control their hatred who are passing it around, it's still possible to decrease the negativity, if only people see the better side of life or connecting with others.
