I couldn't agree more. I joined thefacebook in 2004 and at the time it was a great way to connect with peers and get to know a bit about how they think and what their interests are. (Remember when clicking on a movie title or band name would just show you a list of other people in your network who also had it listed?) These days there's just so much noise that it becomes a waste of time to do anything more involved than clicking the like button and moving on.

Facebook needs to realize that they can't have it both ways. Facebook is either a site for people or a site for advertisers, not both.
