    Hi guys,

    For those of you who use Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg recently posted this:

    http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=190423927130

    Here is my response. Be warned, some bile is involved and it's a bit of a long read Wink.

    Dear Mark Zuckerberg,

    It has been a great year for making the world more derivative and petty. Thanks to you, more than 350 million people around the world are using Facebook to irritate, plagiarize and poke people they barely know..

    To make this possible, you've made Facebook so rabidly popular that it won't be long before elementary school students start logging in. Starting with the very first version of Facebook five years ago, you've built tools that allow previously unparalleled amounts of personal information to be stored in an incredibly public way. Your work to allow people to play "games" and send each other virtual buttons with profanities on them continues today.

    Facebook's current privacy model revolves around "networks"

    ReadingPie I salute you most of the reasons that i don't use face book are voiced in your letter.
