But look at the opportunities here, and often missed, to put these Facebook changes into the larger context of thinking seriously about what we give up in our lives, and what we gain, by the choices we make. Along those lines, I think this post should be anthologized. :) Interesting, too, that the Middlesell.com fellow presented at Student Academy last year. He's obviously widening his range. Good for him. Interesting to see the way that social networking can erase the isolation that can (not must, but can) characterize industrial society.

I was not sure of the details so your clarification here further supports my theory that what this new feed does is not generally understood by those interviewed all that well. Lucky for me that I have the frishwrapper to help me wrap my head around what seems like a non-issue. :) Martha,
