I still detest its attempts to be AOL 2.0. But I'm there. Basically because there are friends and family members I can only keep in good contact with through Facebook. I can live with that.

I don't like that it seems to be at war with Google and I don't see myself using Facebook as a search tool. But I like that it has teamed up with Groupon and I think using Facebook is a good idea, at least if you're careful with your privacy settings. Not being on Facebook seems a little odd at this point. I do think that users need to let Facebook know that we care about information security (maybe we can do that by how we use our privacy settings), but I don't think we need to "stand up for ourselves as tech experts and librarians or laypeople" as I put it a year ago. That seems a little dramatic. :) A year later, I’m okay with Facebook. I don’t like that it seems to be at war with Google and I don’t see myself using Facebook as a search tool.

It used to be a user-oriented service. Now it's more concerned about being an internet power. I don't like that. It's a service I use and I've been feeling increasingly used by Facebook. We as users - tech experts and librarians or laypeople - need to stand up for ourselves and let Facebook know that we're not comfortable with the direction in which they are heading. I'm on twitter (@alexlent) and tumblr (alexlent.tumblr.com). I’m mostly worried about the Facebook of the future. It used to be a user-oriented service.
