Re: Facebook and Twitter: There’s blood everywhere, but no one is dying

I, however, do entirely disagree.Facebook is actually the opposite of "a little young" (especially in the company of Twitter and Friendfeed). Also, Facebook apps are like the blogosphere... some of them are top quality (see: VentureBeat, for example), and others are "Me Too" garbage that probably oughtn't be taking up hard-drive space anywhere (see: most other blogs, with a handful of exceptions). Fact remains, Facebook created the platform, not the application... the platform is king and sometimes the applications are awesome... most of the time they suck, just like blogs... but the platform is justified by the value-adding, top-quality apps. You can not blame Facebook for your bad chicken experience... blame your stupid "friend" who thought it appropriate to send a flipping Super Chicken to you, of all people. I don't even know you and already I can ascertain that sending you something called a "Super Chicken" is a baaaad idea.
