"The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage" by Clifford Stoll was a great read. The title gives away the premise of the book, but to think - it was all put into motion because of a $0.75 accounting discrepancy.

I don't know if it would completely "kill" Facebook, but there would be a dramatic drop in usage if Zynga (Farmville,Mafia Wars,etc.) fell off the face of the earth.

If you're only starting out, I would be less concerned about the technical pros/cons and figure out which ever is easier for YOU to pick up. Check into whatever your nicest techy friends are using. After all, if you run into any problems, t
