i'm reminded of zadie smith's article awhile back about how using facebook means to interface with the mind of mark zuckerberg -- a place where a human becomes a list of likes and a relationship status. a friend of mine has strongly encouraged me to change the copy and tone of the site to something that reflects a more fun, creative side (think chatroulette meets facebook) rather than the sort of dark, "set yourself on fire" attitude related by the site currently. i think he's on to something, but i just don't know if it's me. in some sense, i think the site mirrors a personal and universal human desire to stalk and say crazy things about people. that i know for sure.
