It is also an international place, not just a playground for the

And interestingly, when pressed, Facebook agrees. At least in this case.

I have long described Facebook as a perfect example of what happens when 
software grows up without adult supervision.


Also, like other "free as in beer" platforms, if you aren't paying for 
it, you are the product, not the customer.

grade school even that I truly was glad to be in touch with again and I 
enjoy the company of friends around the world over a game of Words With 
Friends- I skim the news feed, use the message chat box occasionally and

Saying we are supplying content to Zuckerberg is like saying we are
supplying content to Bell when we talk on the phone.  Facebook -- for
better or worse -- is pretty much a utility now.
