This article sounds very biased to me. Most things he describes as weird, such as going to the homepage by clicking the logo, seem totally normal to me. Personal preference perhaps, but the tone is subjectively negative.

Social sites like Github and Facebook take you to a page that is customized for you when you click their logo. It takes you to their main functionality so to speak. I don't think it's even possible to go to the real homepage when you're logged in to those sites.

Maybe MySpace doesn't do that?

Those are their home pages. The home page just changes depending on whether you're logged in.

No, it takes you exactly where you'd expect... back to the first page you see after logging in, so the "home" page. The left side right now is Justin Timberlake, the right side is your newsfeed with posts from whoever you're following.
