[meteorite-list] OT: Facebook

[Eric Wichman]

Facebook "a waste of time..."? Hundreds of millions of people now use 
Facebook as their open-id to  keep their online profiles consolidated 
and allow one-click-login to a myriad of sites all over the web.

Facebook is worth billions upon billions of dollars, over 500 million 
users on Facebook, companies make untold millions of dollars using 
Facebook for their businesses, and it connects hundreds of millions of 
people worldwide, has helped raise hundreds of millions dollars for 
causes and charities worldwide. Facebook has helped educate the 
illiterate, empower women, feed the hungry, house the homeless, fund 
scientific research for countless technologies -medical and commercial. 
Facebook (and Twitter) has helped propagate political revolutions of 
freedom through the world, and allows like minded individuals all over 
the planet to communicate unimpeded by the limits of human 
transportation, region, culture, race, or the oppressions of government 
or religion. It connects, it teaches, it learns, it's the new internet.

I would beg to differ on your opinion that Facebook is a "waste of time".

Regards,
Eric
