I wish we could see more logical long term ideas. So much of it is short sighted I feel. I often describe stuff such as Facebook as immature technology that doesn’t understand what it is capable of, and doesn’t seem to care about the negative impact.


Ya, it is unfortunate. But I think it is the process working the way it's supposed to. It sucks that we have to touch the stove sometimes to learn that it's hot, but that seems to be how it works. Facebook touched the stove and their stock price got burnt. Now everyone else is learning from that so it doesn't happen to them.

I think it's the system working as it should, and I just hope people don't over-react and try to throw the system out when it seems to me to be actually doing a pretty good job at healing itself here.
