And after all that, we discover Facebook is evil

Everybody seems to be muttering about this article, the gist of which is that
...even if you don't buy the idea that Facebook is some kind of extension of the American imperialist programme crossed with a massive information-gathering tool, there is no way of denying that as a business, it is pure mega-genius.

Yep. Reading this article, I am almost convinced that Facebook is the new face of corporate malaevolence and all who use it are silly. One friend has already left the herd on the strength of it. In fact, I'm almost convinced that once I'm back in a city full of friends and I've extracted all the personal details of the people I actually want to contact from my Friends list, I'm outta there. So there.

I heard that someone wanted to get rid of Scrabulous. Now, who's jumping in or out?

The Indian press is all over this, the Scrabulous developers being from Calcutta and all. I've neglected Scrabulous over the last few months. The thought that i might not be able to waste time via Scrabulous when I get back to Sydney is just one more nail in the FB coffin...
