> I'm not sure how facebook fares in big cities, but back where I'm from - a small rural town, facebook has pretty much replaced everything. It's the de facto digital community place.

I don't think this is a good thing. It means change won't be easy to implement because their customer base relies on it for a certain function, if that function changes too much or goes away, they loose what's left.

Yes, it's bad to get completely locked-in. One ban, and you're essentially left out in the cold.

But, then again, I think that's just the result of people casually trading their data for convenience. For most people, it's apparently no big deal.
