Facebook is reality, but it's also just a game. It goes like this: how deep can we go exploiting people by using information technology. How much "person" can we extract? How far can we go controlling this person (e.g. make sure user is happy, etc.).

The second game is: How can we PR our way out of the nightmares we knowingly create month after month?

It amazes me every day how the corporation and all its employees are able to maintain the BS level required to believe in the "mission" of the company.

If you can imagine it, I never had an active account in my life and I am happy about it. And believe it or not, I still do exists have friends and family and a "social" life.
