Call me paranoid, but I sincerely believe facebook has grander ambitions than simply connecting people and enabling us to stalk old flames. Especially in light of facebook's insatiable desire to track our behavior across the web. The more information they capture about us, the more totalizing and dense the cocoon facebook spins around us becomes. Facebook isn't really about friends anymore; I think it's fair to say there's been an explosion of outside media/corporate branding on facebook. Am I deluded because I think this could go really sinister, really quickly? Yeah, probably. But on the other hand, it isn't to our credit to be completely naïve about the issue.
