This is for me just a bit too far. If we all consider Facebook being the place to be and take distance from any other communication tool or platform, all of a sudden we will be dominated and manipulated by structure as Facebook. Corporate business already took some distance and are disabling their personnel having access to facebook. I understand that presence in a space such as facebook is offering advantages but I'm still considering it as a space where i will leave some links to our space without distributing information on facebook itself. It could start living it's own live which is as such uncontrollable  and could harm us more then it would help us.

My cent in this ..
