You don't find dimension and existence cowering in large groups of equally frightful peers. If you want a personal connection and can't do it in real life, you can use the phone. Facebook is where people insecure of their social status seek reassurance, being drawn in a place where insecurity of social status is a support group.
If there were a serious "QuakeOne" Facebook page, it would just have unmeaningful "Likes" that signify nothing --- no Facebook isn't a place of action, it is a place of feelings and whatever the opposite of substance is -- bottom line it doesn't really mean anything. It might have once upon a time when there were requirements to membership (like had to be a college student, but then again to monetize Facebook that had to go),
/I didn't want to trash that other thread.
I have a ton of respect for Zuckerberg. And explaining why would be a mini-book of 75 things "he gets", "he understands" that corporate drones will never understand nor duplicate, but Facebook exploits social status insecurities --- and Zuckerberg managed to exploit this in spades (hats off). Plus, I have a strong bias towards winners --- not douches people in popular culture anoint as winners, but the ones in a crowded field (remember Myspace) that emerge carrying banner with several heads on a stick.
