This makes me hate the web. I like the internet, but facebook infested so many websites with those widgets... If facebook keeps living, I'll say "meeeh". If it goes down, I'll say "GREAT. Now's the chance for reddit and twitter and G+ and others".

  Ghostery-clean websites makes me so happy. Hacker News is one of them.

And just what makes you think that the facebook replacement won't do exactly what they're doing, or, rather, aren't currently doing exactly what facebook is doing? Can you convince yourself that reddit isn't gamed by advertisers and companies in general? Can you convince yourself that twitter isn't as well? Can you convince yourself that G+ isn't gamed by one of the other eighteen people using it? Couldn't help myself.

  still prefer reddit though. facebook is really a bleak thing to use. I don't care about a replacement, maybe there won't be any, I just want to see it die. I just think other social networks are less evil than facebook, that's all. Being an asshole is not mandatory for a corporation.

> If it goes down, I'll say "GREAT. Now's the chance for reddit and twitter and G+ and others". You cheer on centralized corporate systems that have business models based on censorship, vote manipulations, surveillance, arbitrary policy changes, and spam. While you cheer them on, I will be saying now's the chance for democratic distributed blockchain based replacements for the Twitters, Gmails, and Facebooks. Think Bitmessage, Namecoin, Ethereum, NXT, Bitcloud... http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1vd2r1/we_want_to_replace_youtube_dropbox_facebook/ http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1vd2r1/we_want_to_r...

  Well, then make a startup and do it. But I still think facebook has to die first. Google+ and other are just imitating facebook to introduce some competition.
