Or do we? I'm not convinced we need Facebook for anything beyond getting a fix to Facebook addiction. See my rant: http://everything2.com/title/Facebook+destroys+real+relation...

well, we do not need Facebook. But we do not need directories or bathrooms, it just happen that they exists. So, if facebook, is existing it means that are a few millions of people out there that found it at least entertaining if not useful. From there, my resquest: Is it possible to conceive and develop a social service à la Facebook, but open-source, where the rool is privacy and not ads ? ;-)
