If you want to hate on Facebook there should be less focus on Facebook the tool, which is a useful communication service, and more focus on Facebook the company, which is horrible.

Terrible business model, "shadiness", and being part of an ongoing mass of wealth evaporation (Zynga, as we speak) is what bothers me the most about Facebook.

That's a good point. I miss the "social utility" days of the service. In that sense it's hugely valuable. (One of the best things about the internet, really.)

It's the push for users to overshare/go frictionless/"Like" the internet etc/viral gaming stuff that makes me uncomfortable.
