I use Facebook to keep in touch w/ real-life friends. Most of my friends do the same thing. I don't use it as a rolodex (uh isn't that what address books and/or rolodex's are for?). Just because I use FB differently than Scoble, does that mean I'm using it 'wrong'? Yeah it’s all just a bunch of nonsense to me. I use Facebook to keep in touch w/ real-life friends.

This isn't that Facebook doesn't work (it does) but that all your data is locked up inside it and can't be got out. As a social network, the value of Facebook is created by its users, and yet they can't even get their data out of it. That doesn't sound good to me. I only wish that Dave could say that without making it some kind of personal issue. It’s a shame that the discussion has kicked off like this, as the core point that Dave is making is a good one.
