Nice description, and typical DA, but it doesn't _explain_ anything, nor provide _reasons_ for acting that way. In my case, the *reason* is that IMHO FB is a big swindle, and not stimulating anything positive, au contraire. Who pays for FB ? The advertisers. Who pays the advertisers ? The consumers who buy the product or services advertised. So in the end we, the consumers, are paying ourselves for being profiled, analysed and swindled by targeted commercial 'information'. Would we be worse off if Zuckerberg had just stolen 10 cents from each and every bank account instead of starting FB ? I don't think so. Ciao. -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
