It will definitely cause me to delete a lot of things from my first couple years on Facebook, that's for sure.

Tempted to join the developer preview just so I can do that before everyone else can see it. ;)

Facebook has definitely impacted many many lives and changed (to some extent) how some people communicate.

That being said, I can't understand how the technical community doesn't see the short sightedness of these closed/proprietary systems. Facebook isn't storing anyone's legacy. They probably won't even be around by the time I die.

Genuinely curious if my points are way off.

it sounds neat.

but its not as neat as providing safe drinking water for the majority of the third world. or staving off infectious disease. or even providing individuals food and shelter affordably.

until we tackle these issues globablly; a social network site will never change the human race.

i'm sorry, its a down perspective, its arguementative, and its not in the spirit of this site...but i'm tired of seeing intelligent people fawn over things that dont truly improve the lives of people who need help. in 10 years, this comment will seem silly. i may be wrong...but probably not.
