Shameless plugging of the NING thing.
In a previous post, I shared my thoughts on what a date with Facebook would be like. (see http://carlscorner.pulver.com/archives/2007/10/the_newsletter.html )
So after dinner with Facebook, I decide we would just be friends. However, Facebook looked at the check and wrote some notes about me in a book. I don’t know if the information will be shared, but I decided to never invite Facebook into my house.
My understanding is other people who took facebook out have complained enough that Facebook no longer does this, but G-d only knows what other tactless acts are possbile.
Here is my commitment to you if you join me at pulvermediacommunity.net. Pulvermedia will use it for only industry specific self promotion. The benefit to you is that you will not be bothered by a lot of periphereal stuff, but will a good place to keep in touch and see the latest presentations.

FB lost me forever, because of those tactics and because of the walled in garden, because there's no real way to do anything deep there, gadgets or not. Might as well be Netscape/AOL/compuserve. It's over.
Ning is headed in the right direction, it's already very good but it is about to get a LOT better very soon.
