@chetfaliszek They get fat, rich, and lazy. Every time. One thing that scares me about Facebook long term is that they are quasi evil but *very* effective and efficient.

@Carnage4Life not necessarily a negative -- say you attend a talk at RandoConf, you secretly want the presenter to be successful because what would it say about you, that you picked a bad talk by a terrible presenter?
