Zuckers! Facebook finally starts its road to ruin

I have been waiting for this.

Keep smiling, take your billions, and get out of here!!

Unfortunately for me, unlike Mr. Zuckerberg, I have an actual job that requires actual long hours for very little pay. So I didn't make time warn others about the debacle that is unfolding as a result of Facebook's long anticipated Initial Public Offering (IPO).

Facebook is an interesting business model. A classic example of right place, right time. The quartet of founders for this "social media" machine had a leg up over MySpace in that it wasn't plastered with hideous advertisements at every turn, and the vast majority of users were who they said they were.

But that was years ago. It seems like every fortnight Facebook has changed it's layout again, changed its privacy settings again, and put up more hideous advertisements in a desperate attempt to make even more money. Now that Facebook is a publicly traded enterprise

Facebook is an enterprise whose reach has exceeded its grasp. It owes its numbers not to popularity, but perceived convenience. With recent news that Facebook is enticing users to post their "organ donor" status as  a means to further harvest cash, coupled with the companies disastrous IPO, and history of employee spying on workers of the clock, it's only a matter of team before Facebookers depart en masse to one of the many, equally convenient, slightly less Orwellian social networking sites.

Well, the letter may be just hope, but hey, a man can dream!
