I'll admit it. Arrington and I don't agree on everything. I'm probably a blip on his radar.


Why? I'm sick of one company leveraging people's willingness to share information with their friends for profit for lack of a business model to satisfy hungry VCs.

Facebook once had a product. Now they're sacrificing privacy and user respect to give their Chinese investors a ROI. They're even going into CHina despite MarkZ's assertions they wanted to do it the right way w/o becoming another Jerry Yang. 

When people trust you with their information, they expect them to not exploit your likeness, especially if you are public figure.

I don't care if this was meant as a joke. It's a serious matter that has failed to be addressed in today's economy and Web 2.0 (god I hate that term) world.

Very interesting way to market on facebook. I also found a way to automate several very powerful methods of getting users. You can capture ID by groups or pages or wall posts with this program. Then once you have the IDs you can do a friend blast to your profile or sudo profile. This by passes the captcha codes too. There is also a cool chat program that you can setup scripts and keyword to work with. This program, when I use it I can see a spike in my site traffic. It is sweet...
