Yet another reason Facebook is a freaking joke

I have to admit to a certain bias here. I hate Facebook and its ilk, hate it with a burning disdain that is hard to clarify but easy to feel. So the news this week that Facebook has been messaging users' friends about the purchases they've made, to me, is just another indication that these over-hyped and well over-valued social network sites are just a flash in the pan as I've always suspected. Facebook has already responded to huge public outrage over this issue--which many claimed ruined their holidays when presents they purchased online were broadcasted to the intended recipients--but you know, it's too. And frankly, anyone who relies on a site like Facebook almost deserves to be punished.
