m0v_eax··on Facebook uses location to suggest new friends
Because people expect services as robust and useful as Facebook to be free? Based on how much time people spend using their service, the user's data is hardly a large price to pay.

m0v_eax··on I love the Victorian era. So I decided to live in it
To each their own. I loath your pessimism and judgement more than the author and her husband. In fact, I find their efforts ambitious, albeit peculiar and boring at times.

m0v_eax··on Steve Yegge Grades His Own Predictions

For the record, I was heavily involved with XML years ago and helped create a popular light weight xml-based cms.
