this is really good, i think. why would we need to live in facebook if we're already living in ... life? it would be double the work, zero payoff, unless we're posturing to compensate for/fabricate identity. in which case, consult another sheet of problems.

advertising and sharing a business/service in a web-based platform, on the other hand: nothing would make more sense. following someone's developing creative endeavors vs. following his/her episodic and awkwardly strung together self-portrait are two very different things indeed.
