With friends like these …

gives a fairly scathing view of Facebook. While I can see where he’s coming from, and I agree, privacy policies are infrequently read; I’m sure that I’m not the only person who puts the minimum of information in & who doesn’t think that having 3 bazillion friends is necessary (though I’ve recently read in the discussion around Robert Scoble’s ban [from Facebook] that there’s a limit of 5,000 friends. Surely that’s enough. Isn’t it?)
