I agree, but the point of being closed was the privacy. I have always believed that the secret to Facebook's success was the privacy. You were among your friends. Yeah, it wasn't private in the secure sense -- it wasn't secure enough to stop a determined stalker, let alone the FBI -- but it provided a social space that was different from just spewing stuff all over the open web. Now that they appear to have given up that angle and replaced it with an unpredictable tangle of spurious logic that, yes, spews stuff haphazardly all over the open web, why not just publish your updates in the open? What needs to happen now is that someone needs to go into Facebook's old business, the one they have apparently abandoned. Where is the closed service that makes a best-effort attempt to provide an invite-only social space for myself and my friends?
