Facebook will end badly.


(ok, really? what the hell do I know..)

But, I will note Business Insiders' May 3rd article on "10 reasons to delete your Facebook account". I'll give away the goods pointing out the hightlights:
10. Facebook's Terms Of Service are completely one-sided.
9. Facebook's CEO has a documented history of unethical behavior.
8. Facebook has flat out declared war on privacy
7. Facebook is pulling a classic bait-and-switch.
6. Facebook is a bully
5. Even your private data is shared with applications.
4. Facebook is not technically competent enough to be trusted
3. Facebook makes it incredibly difficult to truly delete your account
2. Facebook doesn't (really) support the Open Web
1. The Facebook application itself sucks.



Also a funny note on "Why Facebook is the GREATEST Invention since Mountain Dew" by Pale Gurl, with some funny choice quotes like:

"If you are overweight, you can just post pictures of skinny people and tag them as yourself."

"Facebook is also great if you don't have a lot of friends in real life because you can make up for it with virtual friendships. All you have to do is send out nonstop friend requests to acquaintances and strangers alike to create an allusion of popularity and love."
