Facebook scrambles! (I told you so)

Well, I almost feel bad blogging on the same topic(s) as my last post, but it’s just a worthy blog. Facebook will be pulling out all the stops as they attempt to re situate themselves as the #1 (most trusted) social network on the internet. Some things were said and some chat logs from a few years back have surfaced, leaving Facebook to answer for giving your privacy the backseat to some hidden “personal data mining” agenda. I think it goes without saying that we need to be careful regarding what we put out into the world wide social atmosphere. But onto the glory of reiteration! Facebook is already beginning to weaken its grip on the social networking championship title! But of course, it was only a matter of time. I’m not a super fan of the whole social networking marketplace. To me Facebook along with other websites, online services, etc….lack the ability to stay relevant, engaging, and just plain interesting. Personally it’s boring. I’d rather track the ships from that show “The Deadliest Catch” or watch NASA TV. Why? Well with the exception of the deadliest catch ship tracking, these are things that tell me whats going on now. I want to feel truly connected. While blogs may not provide you with a picture of whats going on “right this second” they do provide deep seated details (sometimes) on the inner workings of an individuals life. And to me, this is interesting. Facebook to me is nothing more than a public scrapbook, or a black hole that’s ultimate goal is to suck you in..along with all of your friends, get you hooked on some mini online games, and apparently utilize the power of “opt-in” to steal your personal information.

So where do we go from here, you ask? Wait, another realization is begging for acknowledgment. [to be continued]
