"Facebook is destroying human race" - The BEST criticism EVER on the evil role of Facebook and social medias on mankind.
I strongly and vehemently recommend the full lecture of this article. The author cleverly uses a neologism "zuck up" to replace "fuck up" and his criticism is the clearest analysis I've seen on the problem of a legion of people worldwide exposing themselves on the net.

(...)But this shift to a Facebook world of incessant "friending," Professor Turkle correctly warns us, is a "seductive fantasy" which is weakening us both as individuals and as a society. The problem, she explains, is that a "capacity for solitude is what nurtures great relationships." But in today's always-on social media world, our solitude has been replaced by incessant online updates, which both weaken our sense of self and our ability to create genuine friendships.

I call this shift from the private to the public self "digital narcissism." Behind the communitarian veil of social media, we have fallen in love with ourselves. But this is a super sad love story. Because the more we self-broadcast, the emptier we become; and the emptier we become, the more we need to self-broadcast(...)

Facebook will last while people feel need of showing off on the fucking internet. The problem is not with Facebook, the problem is with the worldwide legion of attention-whores.

Apparently Zucko is running out of money and having issues to cash some from ATM machines in Italy.



The fucker is a billionaire, takes his wife to eat a $40 bucks lunch in Italy and doesn't leave a tip.

He may be worth $US20 billion, but when Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg took his new wife to lunch during their honeymoon in Rome he spent just 32 euro - and did not leave a tip.

The owners of the kosher restaurant in Rome's Jewish Ghetto - a historic quarter in the centre of the city - were surprised when Mr Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan walked away without leaving a gratuity.

Their bill came to 32 euro ($40) after a lunch consisting of deep-fried artichokes - a Roman Jewish speciality - fried pumpkin flowers and ravioli stuffed with sea bass and artichokes.

Zuckerberg Tumbles from Top 40 Billionaires List

Mark Zuckerberg's net worth took a pretty big hit the past week, as investigators reviewed Facebook's bungled IPO and the company's shares slid further and further below their offering price.

Shares of Facebook[FB 28.19 -0.65 (-2.25%) ] fell below $29 yesterday for the first time, and the company's co-founder and CEO saw his fortune tumble right along with it. According to Bloomberg, Zuck's 503.6 million shares are now worth $14.7 billion, which knocks him off Bloomberg's Billionaire's Index of the 40 wealthiest individuals in the world.

Any coincidence in the flawless timing between the sinking of FB shares, the odd apparition of Zucko and P-Chan in a Chinese documentary about counter-terrorism tactics of Chinese agents and a massive EQ in Italy right when the couple is there in their honeymoon??

I guess someone is worried about Zucko being a Chinese double-agent and just sent the couple a seismic message.
