And its bogus advertising model that leaves our closest friends babbling about their sex lives rather than their creative endeavors. That Facebook compels negative consumption: the consumption of Friends' consumption, rather than the consumption of Friend's production. For instance:
Status Update: "X made me feel bad."
Comments: "First!", "[meme response]", "like", etc.
All of that happens, of course, and ads are still soaring throughout all of that. Facebook is basing its model on the idea of someone interjecting "sound ads" throughout your socializing with people; it's advertising Tourette's.
And it's built on PHP.
