Lol. Well thanks for reading my post even though I wrote the title like a 4 year old. I changed it for you. I read it this morning and wanted to share it before I went to work so admittedly I was a little rushed.

(@thenewgreen) tagging so I don't have to write two posts and can still get his attention.

Facebook really does suck now. The Author makes the point at the end.

    An ideal Facebook would have been a directory of people and their connections. People can message each other, post text updates and pictures.

To this point, Instagram is much more enjoyable to use now. Its smaller and its filled with less content from parties you do not care about whether they be friends of friends, advertisers, or groups. Its ultimately doomed to end up like their owners in the long run. It'll be necessary to put in paid content to monetize the usership. I've raised this point before but I don't understand why a paid social network doesn't emerge as a viable option in this market space.
