Weren't you "inviting" attacks with your previous comment? And wouldn't a blog post be just as problematic? I don't want to get you in trouble. But you want to talk about this (whatever it is) but you also don'

Facebook is barely 10 years old and they're already the new Microsoft...maintaining dominance by acquiring every major competitor that poses a threat. And I'm not necessarily saying that's a bad thing.
