Issues with Facebook

There are numerous issues with Facebook. From privacy concerns, centralized control of data, lack of user control of our own info, the annoyances of app invites, rumours of CIA involvement, etc.

I just came across a few postings going into detail on some interesting concerns:

• apophenia: confused by Facebook
• My beef with Facebook: so much untapped possibility, by baratunde thurston
• Facebook Follies (or the Dangers of Investing in Someone Else’s Platform), by baratunde thurston

These are good contributions to trying to understand why Facebook falls short of being a good approach to “social networking”.

Facebook, privacy, critique, public vs. private, social networking.
