[Note: I work at Facebook, and have worked on some of the friend suggestion tools.] There seems to be some confusion about how friend suggestions work, and we definitely want to people to understand how their information is used and their o

As a completely independent observer having no stakes in this game, I think that the facts absolutely don't point this way. None of your "arguments" has explicitly refuted the attacks. All refutations have been shown (with proof) to be inva

There is absolutely nothing in there which isn't matter-of-fact. Again, I work for FB (and I joined less < 2 yrs ago) so you will generally diss this as well, but w/e...

How can Google NOT look at that sample page Aaron has displayed? That is truly terrible :( Also, Matt Cutts is generally very honest and public, but in this case, uncharacteristically quiet.

Argh what is the point of comments like these? It is totally drowning out any useful discussion about the actual merits or demerits of the product. The iPod was a lame "me-too" product, eh?
