Yes, please. We can’t expect anything good coming from them.

Last time we were burned (or at least I am aware of) was with Jabber and Google Talk.

It helped them bootstrap their instant messaging, and once everyone was using it they simply blocked access.

It is pretty much guaranteed that Facebook will do the same thing.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
