"You must log in first."

Sigh.

Edit: The reason I mention this is the disappointing incongruity of announcing a project for the global, public good hidden behind a self-serving walled-garden approach to media.

Facebook Zero is a more meaningful example of this, of course.

I realize this post alone isn't a big deal, but it's part of a fabric of disconnect. One where you get the feeling that the goal of some is to ensure that FB effectively is "the world." And it's a damn shame, because from everything I hear about the people is that isn't actually the goal. But perception matters.
