right, i mean 500 million users all making a constant investment in their profiles, connections, photo uploads, etc. the seemingly endless chain of privacy concerns (and i've learned recently through first hand experience there are many) aren't dissuading users from spending much of their precious time on the site...and since all your friends are on it, or connections you want to keep, how are you ever supposed to leave? and when you try, you get what amounts to a guilt trip that your most bestest friends will miss your increasingly valueless contributions to the site.

of course, that's because all your pithiness is going into 140 characters or less to what amounts to almost total strangers.

facebook, where did your allure go? after the last round of privacy banter, i've kept my facebook material almost completely personality free.
