Piling onto my annoyance with Facebook (and Twitter) against the backdrop of the realization that there is an art to sharing. I consider myself a black belt of sharing, for me to observe the Facebook or Twitter wall is comparable to a concert pianist who is forced to listen to the infinite loops of the instrumental noise, all of it off-key.
Music is not a “stream” even when you stream it, the intervals are as essential to the performance, the compositions and the tectonics of the sound, even if you are a despicable, derivative DJ aggregator. Facebook is like a kindergarten class being handed the tools they don’t understand or know how to use properly, in other words a pure horror. Perhaps it will evolve just by the sheer effort of the millions involved, but so far it’s the second coming of the AOL, a gated garden with the highly asymmetrical value proposition. People who donate time and “content” get nothing, people who control the spigot get everything. Just another fascist mutant mistaken for a communication appliance.
