CBS radio reported this am that insiders have been trading facebook stock through private trading platforms for a few years now.

The corporations and intelligence services have embraced FB, so it won't vanish overnight, but certainly will be replaced by something once the kids fine they want something the 'rents don't use and that they think they can use and no one is looking, like their online video game chats.

i've been reading about advertising through video game for years, so if it hasn't yet come to the consoles, it's coming eventually.

the thing with FB is that it's become as ubiquitous as public utilities. the problem is not with parents/not parents, which can be simply averted with private profiles. their catch 22 is that they need to make money from ads, but if they get spammy people will move away. google managed it somehow without spooking us but the google nerds are better than zuckerberg & co.

google+/circles is getting as intrusive if not more though, which is turning me off to them big time also-- and now google personalizes their every fucking ad by looking at my searches even with "do not track" turned on. pestilence, i say, but they keep increasing the ROI on advertising which is the key to ad revenue. right now i'm betting on google to come out ahead financially in the long run.
