I honestly still find myself shocked at the low quality of ZD Net blogs. The analysis is often minimal, the length is usually 300-500 words, and the originality is non-existent. Trying to read that article was befuddling and ultimately I resorted to bewildered skimming.<p>
Regarding the argument, I don't think Facebook is going to be a serious mechanism for good or evil until the company begins to take measured actions aimed at a long term goal other than "be big" and "make money." Things like the poor logistics for the API roll-out, constant minor changes, bug-inducing updates, etc, are signs of internal disorganization. I can't see either short or long term stability within that chaos. <p>
I am also curious about Zuckerberg. I have heard both extremely negative things (arrogant), and very positive things. As usual reality is probably closer to the mean.
