facebook makes no interesting steps forward in solving trust problems. i made an account. people give facebook their email password and thus entire address book (this amuses me when the topic is setting up reasonable trust system), and thus i sometimes get friend requests from acquaintances. which i ignore.
all they came up with is letting you make one type of connection with other people with an account. nothing to see here. the only thing that makes it notable is the large amount of data put into it.
- yters 19y agoYes, I think facebook started out right, but now the pressure to profit is causing them to make stupid decisions. The key is to allow the kind of control people have in real relationships. From what I understand, it isn't possible to terminate facebook friendships, and that eliminates the basis of accountability needed for a good trust relationship.
