I generally like the idea of Facebook, but the way they are doing it sucks! It could be so much better!
They basically funnel you into these little boxes, allowing little more than short shouts, dare I say tweets, about what I am doing, thinking. A certain amount of this is fine, even useful, but it isn't that hard to give everyone enough space to do whatever they want. I mean email programs give you gigabytes of storage for free!
Facebook gives you about 450 characters!
So perhaps this is good. It has forced me to start a serious blog where I can spread my writer's wings and fully develop a thought, a point, a rant...
Facebooks inability (or unwillingness) to connect with the major blogs, not to mention the other social networks. is so small-minded. It traps you into their little box, where there is a wonderful huge world out there. Typically American, if it isn't my brand, and i don't own it, I want to ignore it and hope it goes away. Forget what the web is all about - free open unlimited communication. There should be easy buttons to MySpace, Scribd, Blogspot, and all the others. Social network - give me a break!
