Whilst marketing all of your personal information.
Well, you don't have to put up personal information on there. :p
1. Requires name
2. Requires phone number
3. Requires e-mail
4. Anything you post can and will be used against you, you have the right to remain silent and... Nope, your friends will post your personal details for you. So you don't have that either.
So three options:
Don't use it
Use it without using it
Use it

It doesn't, and you don't have to give it your real name if you don't want to.

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

I've been wondering: Isn't facebook pretty damn close to a monopoly? I haven't heard of anyone legitimately having a MySpace or anything for like, years. It's always facebook.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

The problem with a tool like Facebook, is that it naturally becomes a monopoly and would be annoying if it weren't. Since you'd have to find out what all your friends use, and either get them to switch, get all your other friends to switch, or have a huge number of different accounts.

Having one single social site monopolizing that market has its benefits...
