Funny how an outage of something as pointless as facebook generates this humongous comment count. But then, some source material for http://www.lamebook.com may have been lost...
I don't get how anyone could think that Facebook, a platform that has literally defined a paradigm shift in the way people communicate across the planet, could be genuinely considered pointless.
It's okay not to like Facebook, and there are many good reasons to be sceptical about them as a company, but to call them pointless is so utterly myopic that it beggars belief.
I was calling fb pointless from my own point of view. Obviously, lots of people disagree, otherwise it wouldn't have gotten that big. And I’m sure that every single user has their (valid) opinion on what “the point” of fb is for them. But as far as I'm concerned, I'll still call it pointless — no offence.
