Facebook has the best news stream. Period.
This is delusional and a little spooky.
I deleted my facebook account around the same time my Aunts began creating accounts. I have never looked back. It is repulsive how superficial and political the social network has become. A tool as powerful as a social network connecting the globe should not be publicly owned on the stock market. It shouldn't even be profit driven.
I still get laid, and stay in close contact with good friends from school and university. But I suspect my relationships now are more meaningful and genuine. I would rather get 1 written birthday card, than 50 chintzy public and identical birthday wishes written on my "wall".
