Facebook scepticism

Interesting read....

The only REALLY useful thing I personally get out of Facebook is an easy place to look up contact information of friends, and seeing what my friends are reading. But I agree with the article - you can only add books that you can buy from large US companies such as Amazon. You can't add books from Swedish bookstores for instance, or classics that are out of print... nor can you add open source games, or games bought online.

Facebook is not the product, YOU are the product, and you are being sold to the real customers - the advertisers.
