A wonderful reminder, both about second-day reflection and about controlling your content.

So few people see themselves as storytellers or value the narratives they create. For most people I know, taking the extra step of creating a blog (even a free, generic one) gets lost in the immediacy of Facebook, both in terms of setup (just sign up for an account!) and feedback (look, all my friends and family are already here!).

nicely stated John, I almost feel like I just finished a good therapy session by reading this! you articulated my personal anxiety about feeling constrained and used by the FB platform to tell my stories. much happier with a blog and using FB to share those posts. I will not be filling out my Timeline with my life for FB’s financial gain.

Nice post, John, and looking forward to Web 2.0 Summit:

Like Facebook, Google also makes money from its consumers, but no one suggests it share any of that loot with users.

Isn't it enough that Facebook provide a publishing platform for users' content? Not everyone wants to build a blog and ask users to subscribe to their life's story and updates.

Why would the rules be different for FB? Should all of the Websites who make big coin from ads cut their users some of the cash.

Maybe offer them virtual currency for games and other products?
