Meanwhile Facebook is used almost exclusively for exchanging photos from last night’s Christmas party and stalking that person who didn’t go out with you in high school. In terms of the greater good Google certainly has more utilitity than Facebook. So this writer thinks this development is a bit disconcerting.
