While I've made it clear that I'm not a fan of FB, what boggles my mind is that people still continue to use it. Why?
I hear ya... these services are run by shady corporations. But these shady corporations built the platforms that everybody joined.
I guess people don't want to manage their own domain and website to share their photos and stuff.
Facebook (and others) make it easy for everyone to get together on one site or service.
It's the "networking" part of "social networking" that is key here.
