Facebook: Privacy, the exodus, and Diaspora

I'm with you. I read status updates and hide all the app updates. Once in a blue moon, I play a game from one of the few trusted sources that's using Facebook as a platform. But other than that, it's just another communications vehicle. Which is not to say it's not important in that role--not at all. There are a lot of updates I see and friends I keep up with (particularly long ago, re-met friends) only through Facebook. To some, that's extraneous. To me, particularly having moved so many times through my life and lost track of so many people, it's valuable and wonderful.
