> Then how would they make money? I think that assumes that the truly valuable content on facebook is the "trash content" people are sharing. If I'm speaking for myself, I love status updates, baby photos, dinner photos, and the mundane content created by my actual friends. If I could never see another "shared article" I think I'd be OK with that. I wouldn't like facebook less because of that, I think I'd probably like it more. If they make money off selling adds around the stuff I'm paying attention to, then they could still make money without driving the news and quiz sharing.
