Our tastes agree on this question of platform. Though Facebook is marginally better than Twitter; my reaction to Twitter when I heard of it was, "I can't say anything interesting in 140 words!"

A lot of the argument for Facebook seems to be "everyone is on it; you can keep in touch with so many people, and have such a huge number of friends!" But why would anyone want so huge a number of friends? At a certain point they cease to be individual people and become points on a graph.
