What a strange discussion. I don’t even use facebook, but I’m trying to understand why this discussion is even taking place. Strange.

Mrmeyer fans-

I teach in New York, and we are in the process of going through some serious cuts for this upcoming school budget vote in March.

Has anyone else gone through this before?

I am most curious about what other schools have done in the past and are going to do this time around. I’m trying to find innovative ideas for what areas to cut.

Can anyone shed light on this?

dan, that’s exactly why I think he does have some inherent bias.

Tumblr, in some ways, competes with Facebook—especially for people’s attention. No doubt he would like to think the Facebook crew never makes anything of value. Except people actually use Facebook; not many use Tumblr.

[…] Dan had a bit about Facebook up this week, and it coincides exactly with several days of holiday-induced pleading from old college friends and colleagues I love to please, get a frickin’ page up, would you, what is your problem? […]

For the record, this dude Marco Arment invented a little slice of Web 2.0 called Tumblr (maybe you’ve heard of it) so it ain’t exactly like he’s some axe-grinding Luddite like yours truly.

what’s a ‘living, breathing citizen of a country’?

that sounds hard, complex, and something that one needs to pull off without a username and password.

and I bet one can’t get by on 140 characters or less.

(sorry for mixing up platforms)

Were you saying something about a litmus test post awhile back, Dan?

I’ll second Chris’s sentiment, but add the fact that the argument even gets made is a big part of what gets in the way of the whole Ed2.0 thing.

Sure the political debates are fun, and get your readers riled up and get you a high technorati score. But when the dust settles, no one’s moved, which means no one has actually gotten better at what they do, which means there are probably better ways for me (at least in a professional sense) to spend my time.

Whatever quibbling we may do about the actual numbers, the sentiment of the retort is spot on.

Yes, Facebook is popular, and yes, it’s incredible that so many people use it… but being a member of a social networking site is a lot more ephemeral than being a living, breathing citizen of a country.
