"Facebook keeps me connected to folks I care deeply about who aren’t nearby." He goes on to explain the way in which it works for him, but that's the point. I, for example, don't do anything but see my stream without much hiding and I love it. I love seeing why my friends having going on, I love the weird swath of reactions and conversations, I love it. Hell, I love that my aunt bothers me on Facebook all the time, I would never talk to her otherwise! It's not everything to everyone, but it's a REALLY important thing to a REALLY huge amount of people. It could die. Mobile (or other things) could kill it, I don't deny that, but it's great. Long live Facebook, until something does what it does better.
