   One exceptional case doesn’t make it a new innovative tool for finding people who are lost. Statistically, I’d think it’s non-existent. Remember how Facebook freed the Middle East? How the Zuckerborg ended the need for waiting for organ transplants?

   It was definitely lucky coincidence.

   That what made it news.

   Good stuff can happen on Facebook. That doesn’t make Facebook good.

   I’m still waiting for good stuff to happen on Facebook. I don’t expect it to arrive. I’ve always thought of it as global BBS largely for chickensh– people of my age who spent a decade hiding from or scoffing at digital technology until it reared up and rendered them obsolete as everything except monetized gossips and pearl-clutchers.

   I’m in Virginia Beach because I reconnected on Facebook with my first girl friend from a long time ago.

   That’s my good thing that happened on Facebook. That is, indeed, my only good thing that happened on Facebook. Everything else has been but jots and tittles.

   as global BBS largely for chickensh– people

   Heh. To use a BBS, one had to know what one was doing. To use Facebook, one needs to know–er–not much of anything. Analogy rejected ;).
