I tried to explain to my wife why this story was funny yesterday. It was hopeless. She simply could not get it. Her sympathies were with the FB users, "Oh yeah.

I desperately wanted to explain the difference between a protocol and a web app, but then thought, why? She does not care. For her, FB is simply email plus.
