Well-said, Simon
Also worth reading Mark Pesce on the Farcebook issue:
Why I quit Facebook (and you should too)
(the link is corrected in the above :) )
I'd venture one massive caveat regarding that linked article, though: it makes the mistake of considering Google less dangerous. The reality is that Google has been even harder at work to get its grubby paws on your life as it also reads your email, joins Facebook in watching what you get up to on the Net (to put it simply, every Facebook and Google icon you see on a web page can be a spy) and keeps track of what you search for.
"Social" media is anything but, because it was designed by what DSM IV would class as psychopaths...
