| #8 Facebook enables individuals to create online high school and college yearbooks or any other sort of "membership" concepts. It's an odd duck that joins a social web community, in an effort to enhance their privacy. And the very first simultaneous Snark O' the Day™ plus Understatement O' the Week™, goes to Beau. |

| #6 It's an odd duck that joins a social web community, in an effort to enhance their privacy. It is usually the exact opposite. So what's the drama? Sure, the weirdos who are masquerading as something/someone they are not will hate all revelations of personal info, but for the rest of us it's a bit of a bonus. |

| #3 Facebook has changed the rules about what they protect multiple times -- each time exposing things users were told would remain private. |

| #1 But it's only when the government collects the stuff that the liberals complain . . . |
