Conceptually I like FB, but it is not particularly intuitive and quite frankly is cumbersome to navigate. I think is definitely room for competition.

didn’t we go through this crap 10+ years ago, when we called it AOL? didn’t we all decide we were better off owning our own data and supporting open protocols? who said those who don’t study history are doomed to repeat it? it happens on wall st, and now it’s happening with main st.

Loved the Red Dawn and Wargames movies. Chris, I’m so old I was taught in first grade how to “duck and cover” under my school desk in case of nuclear attack by the Communists. Like that would have helped in event of a bomb hah.

I’m one of the few people not on Facebook or MySpace. I must be part of that first wave of anti-social people that hit the Internet years ago.

If it wasn’t for Red Dawn, Facebook, or Scoble I would never have learned that I could pee into my car’s radiator to make it go. Oh wait, that was just Red Dawn.

See this is what happens when you get all the nerds involved. It’s constant whining. They just ignore MySpace because MySpace won’t let’em in. Ha! No nerds!

Dude, if I ever take a company public, I’m going to get it listed as WOPR (one of many reasons I am unlikely to ever take a company public). Kudos for raising your kids on the classics.
