Everyone seems to be so upset when some big social network or online service does something to cover themselves from legal trouble, or even benefit from a business prospective. I just don't see why people need to be "upset" with the recent changes in the Facebook TOS or any other changes that social networking sites make. It's all part of the "biz." From a neutral standpoint, I think anyone that is truly upset with the whole privacy aspect of Facebook, should just close their account...and probably never join another social network again. I mean... don't they all lack privacy after a certain point? Plus, do people really have a "right" to complain? Facebook is a free service which nobody pays to use, if people were paying I would understand that their "demands" should be met.
With the known fact that nothing rides high forever, if users keep up the negative vibe towards Facebook, this is probably the start of the end for Facebook. No doubt, there will probably be a new "Web 3.0" social networking site arising soon.
On the other hand, it also seems that people are thinking too much into social networking sites. For example, just about everyone has figured out how to monetize Twitter, except... Twitter, Inc. From the be-a-magpie or whatever deal, to selling your background through Twittad, to the recent "gain more followers" game. If people keep using Twitter for ways it is not meant to be used, the value of Twitter will be lost, quicker than ever.
In my opinion, MySpace users look like the only- "go with the flow" type, since you don't really hear any "mass-hate" towards News Corp. or MySpace from its users...even though I think MySpace is one big advertising campaign.
Sometimes people just cannot be pleased, but if people stopped trying to dig deep into issues that they don't need to, there would be less time wasted after unnecessary discussions and more people would be able to move on in their lives to the finer things. - Like quality time away from your computer.
