Great article, I share the sentiment. But we have to remember what killed blogging more than Facebook itself: webspam. The cost of posting a blog post is a flood of spam comments and trackbacks. Even with Akismet, the time it would take to review for ham, etc was substantial. When you make a Facebook post you get nothing but pure self-validation! Their anti-spam team was effective from the start and besides the scourge of game invites, the experience is relatively positive all around. Yes it is full of ads, but generally they are not about penis pills. Spam has killed off most of the decentralized web. Any future solution to corporate controlled media needs to have a great answer to spam.
