Facebook is not a community, it's a medium of communication. A sixth of all humanity is not a very useful group for social purposes.
Calling it a community with warrens doesn't seem like a useful description, to me.
- tsurantino 14y agoIsn't Facebook more of a paradoxical phenomenon? You go to Facebook to use Facebook to communicate with people on Facebook. My point being that it's both a community and a medium of communication at the same time?
- adewinter 14y agoYou go on Hacker News to use hacker news to communicate with other users of Hacker News. This also works for every other website in existence, I think.
- jeffdavis 14y agoHacker news is somewhat more of a community though, because it's a group based on common interests. Facebook is supposed to be for everyone, so it's not really a group at all.
