Soylent Green Isn't Just People; It's *YOU*.


"Ask a kid what Facebook is for and they'll answer 'it's there to help me make friends'. Facebook's boardroom isn't talking about how to make Johnny more friends. It's talking about how to monetize Johnny's social graph."

I don't consider myself a paranoid person. I've always felt like anyone who really wanted to spy on me was welcome to do so, it's not like I have anything interesting hidden away. But I still think it's important to understand the mechanics of the marketplace, and to help our kids be wise consumers (of both material and information).

So forewarned is forearmed, kids.
