My relationship with Facebook, as ever, is ambivalent. It's a playful space to try to deconstruct the idea of a social identity on the web, blending personal and conceptual ideas, while still struggling to decide what it's 'for'.
I think more people need to be on there and occupy it, in the same way people might occupy a university building in protest. Join in, mess it up. Be aware of what connections the software is making with other sites, of course and maybe in future we'll all leave.. But really, let's fuck things up a bit more in our own small part of the internet while we still can. Let the eternal trickster live on digitally, I say!
