    Exactly. I've made the same comments re being the customer vs. the product regarding Facebook. Except with Facebook, there's a lot more than users' attention on offer to advertisers. The real question is, would content quality improve if we

    It's really interesting to see people engage with an inanimate object as if it were a person. I think it's the adorable voice and the "face" (such as it is) which does it.

    The funny thing is, I encouraged him to learn Python first, precisely because of its efficiency and flexibility, etc. I pointed him toward "Learning Python", the absolutely massive book from O'Rielly, and Learn Code The Hard Way for Python.
