oops, I meant to title it — the website that I’m referring to is The Anti-Facebook League of Intelligentsia –
The First Organized American Protest Against Facebook

It used to cost zero dollars. I think it’s only a matter of time before any commercial entity will have to pay up if they want anybody to see their stuff in Facebook.

So what we need is a new hosted RSS reader with some social and sharing aspects built in, and brand it so that it seems just as easy as Facebook. Google was 80% of the way there with Reader, before they gutted it to force it into the Google Plus model. Then we convince corporate America to focus on their websites, and we party like its 1999 all over again!

Facebook will die, eventually.

That said I’ve been kicking around a blog post about this in my head for a long time, and you’ve uncovered a big point from the as-yet-unwritten post: Facebook is a ton easier (either by perception or by practice) than making a website. It’s basically a hosted “free” CMS + regular updates to a customer base. And it costs zero dollars, versus hiring a proper web team, which is not zero dollars.

It’s something more than just having an AOL keyword. I think.

I deleted my FB account almost a year ago. The only times I’ve regretted the decision is when some stupid blog uses FB’s system to register comments. No FB account means you can’t comment. Other than that, FB is dead to me.
