The Washington Post overdoses on Facebook

The WashPo publisher Don Graham is on Facebook's board. They're always first to roll out any sort of Facebook site integration.

Looks like Facebook is taking over the page, not integrating with it. The top links are especially redundant.

See. My previous comment above. I do wonder sometimes if Graham's presence on the board gives WashPo less visible benefits as well.

A little more than a year ago the washington post hired away a senior editor from huffington post to lead their "digital products" or something like that, basically integrate with social networking sites like facebook and twitter. Hence all the buttons you see in this post.
