[quote=Hobie]Flu; Brilliant post to Nina and spot on.

I won’t be buying FB for those exact reasons.

However, one thing that is really interesting about FB is the data. Realtime, self described, lifestyle info, personal demographics on tons of people. Best marketing research avail. Put conspiracy hat on and that data would be valuable to insurance co, medical policies, government, etc. And very targeted ads which we haven’t seen yet ( i believe). So while not a Google, it will prove to an evolving co. And volital stock.[/quote]

I don’t get this social networking myself, but I could see how it could be a sort of family archive that one could access a few generations later so one could see what the life of a grand parent was like or something like that.
