No one should be on Facebook. It mixes the personal (including religious and political) too much with one’s professional life.

Now Facebook is working to kill ANY Internet anonymity, by making people have to sign in on Internet forums with Facebook (i.e., their REAL NAMES)!!!!

Note that FR allows one to use screen-names. Without such anonymity, neither I nor many others would ever post anything here. My real name is all over the Internet because of professional activities, and I would not like a potential customer or colleague to also see my posts on FR under my real name.

I know that Facebook is SO successful “one-ninth of the world uses it”, “an example of American entrepreneurship”, blah, blah, blah. But I would like to see Facebook and Zuckerman taken down by some scandal, so that Facebook would have to go out of business!!!!

Facebook is EVIL, grasping, and imperialistic. Google is not much better, in many ways, but it is a necessary evil. Facebook is just evil, and not necessary.

I don’t post a whole lot on FaceBook and I certainly don’t post anything remotely political. I don’t want to alienate half of my “friends” because I’m just there to pick up hot divorced former classmates!

I agree that Facebook is totally worthless.
