Comment on why facebook won’t last by Steve

Very well said, John. I’d like to add that Facebook’s insensitivity to it’s subscribers privacy may very well be its achilles heel. For years, most people have clicked through the Terms of Use Agreements without paying much attention for the simple reason that most software/web services included clauses that protected their companies, and were of little interest to the “end user”. Facebook is a pioneer of developing terms of use agreements that capitalize on their subscribers complacency. Its just a matter of time before the $h!+ hits the fan.

[...] power of this open data is another example of why facebook won’t last as a walled garden. I don’t expect existing social networking sites to simply disappear. [...]

This is 1000% correct
I live in the town of Dorset VT
Over 3 years ago Dorset looked at ways for BT to deliver service to DOrset. We were almost done when Tim Nulty left BT and BT then decided to drop a bombshell, They would not roll out to other towns.
I was bummed.
I wish I had great broadband like BTs and the customer service they give sounds great!!!
Well, Rutland will soon be doing the same thing and wants to invite Dorset to the table. I cant wait for it to happen!!!!!!
Fiber to the home is the only way to go

Don’t know how thus got turned into a school tax issue, because I think the North End passes school taxes. We are very proud of our neighborhood schools, and have active walk-to-school, safe-routes-to-school initiatives.
