So I could no longer be Facebook friends with my friends on different continents?

  No, they would be forced to allow friendships to span company-wall boundaries.

    So we split Facebook into multiple companies which must of necessity coordinate all their activities with each other?

      Are e-mail providers "multiple companies which must of necessity coordinate all their activities with each other"? Sure, but when you put it that way it sounds nefarious. The underlying idea here, if I understand it correctly, is to force Facebook into defining protocols for what they do - something closer to e-mail than the current Facebook model.

        Sounds like a little creative reimagining of PubSub (hell, even RSS) would make this more than possible.

      Works pretty well for the global phone system, doesn't it?
