“If you want to take advantage of the froth, like with YouTube or [Facebook] then do so, but recognize that these are not Services. These are not dependable enterprises. These are parties. And parties are fun and parties are cool and you meet neat people at parties but parties are not a home.” —

Jason Scott via Fuck the Cloud

Now stop asking why I (re)joined Facebook.

Me: Hey, when you use Facebook—
Him: Oh, Facebook! It has profiles for businesses that haven't put in their information, right? It must get that from people's phones. Knowing when people call them? And events and searches? Whoa, they probably have profiles about people just like that too, even if they don't have a Facebook account. But it would be creepy to show them, so they're hidden? Secret profiles.
Me: They're called Shadow Profiles. Yeah. Huh?
Him: Is that not what we're talking about?
Me: No, I was going to ask when you use Facebook and when you use LINE.
