Twitter is the platform I think has the biggest potential for abuse, it has turned into a political/news engine unlike any other.

Face is just a platform, a blank slate. The idiocy that users post on that platform is nearly impossible to control.

Facebook is on the way out. Already our young seldom use. These big enterprise companies day will come and day will go. Most big companies do. No need for the Govt to get involved. Capitalism will take it's course.

This is the most UNPRECEDENTED news story in the history of America!

To all you people who used to be down with Zuckerberg and you left the company for whatever reason if this guy is supposed to be in here when the company started he should be as Rich as Zuckerberg and if he didn't get some of that money and he let it slip through his fingers ?!!

Zuckerberg is a thief.

let's go back to playing farmville and passing tchotchkes
