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.
