…there is actual precedent for creating value for people with technology. Think of word processors, databases, spreadsheets, web browsers, web publishing, search engines, email, etc. Social media is the first major computing revolution that as far as I can tell, has produced essentially nothing.

And here’s Marlon Brando reading The Hollow Men in Apocalypse Now.
Facebook’s “People You May Know” feature shows you a few links to profiles of people you … well, may know. Put another way it’s a feature that
shows you people that all your friends know who you are not friends with. There aren’t pleasant names for these kinds of people.
Facebook is a spiteful conniving bitch
It continues to put my ex in the “people you may know” section.
You fuckin’ dirty backstabbing whore, facebook, I’ll kill you. Just keep rubbing that shit in, I’ll fucking kill you.
