My chair spies on me all the time, so I'm going to say yes.
- haha, you think FB spies on you? to what end?monospaced
- Facebook totally spys on you. It's how they work up a demographic profile for advertisersmonNom
- But they could care less about YOU. You're a statistic. And it's not exactly spying if you provide the info, is it?monospaced
- I'd say Google is worse, but in the end, same result: better search results and targeted ads. They can't talk to govt.monospaced
- They sell your information. You're pouncing on my verbiage!instrmntl
- I didn't mean to pounce, bro, I just think it's ridiculous to think they give a damn about anything except statsmonospaced

facebook: like a large chair
seems pretty clear to me.

This is the transcript.
"Chairs.
Chairs are made so that people can sit down and take a break.
Anyone can sit on a chair; and if the chair is large enough, they can sit down together.
And tell jokes.
Or make up stories.
Or just listen.
Chairs are for people.
And that is why chairs are like Facebook.Doorbells; Airplanes; Bridges:
These are things people use to get together
so they can open up and connect about ideas, and music
and other things that people share.Dancefloors; Baskeball; A great nation.
A great nation is something people build so they can have a place where they belong.The Universe.
It is vast... and dark... And makes us wonder if we are alone.
So maybe the reason we make all of these things is to remind ourselves...
that we are not.-----
Tell me that doesnt read like a fucking high school creative literature / poetry assignment. It almost doesn't even make sense.

damn, back in 2009 we predicted that in 2012 facebook would hit 1 Billion. it seemed a little far fetched, but thats what we came up with. time flies, 2012 seemed like a science fiction year still.
