Getting tired of facebook and the attention whores who live there. Now they
want it to be an SSO. Hey let's put all our eggs into a single basket, make
everything depend on this single site that we don't actually control that can
delete our accounts or pull its content anytime they want. Oooh ooh, and you
surrender all control of anything you upload to it as a bonus which you'd know
if you actually read its ToS/privacy policies! What could possibly go wrong if
we used this as our SSO? Not a damn thing that's what. Proceed. Carry on. When
it blows up in your face or an outage proves to you why over-reliance on a
single site is a Bad Idea(tm) you'll understand why the rest of us didn't want
to.
There's nothing novel or technically interesting about Facebook. It is not the
be-all and end-all of useful tools. It's a way to build a vanity page for
people who are too lazy to learn HTML. The appeal to lazy stupid people who
hate learning something new is the only reason it became known to the
mainstream popular media. That's all it is and ever was. End of fascination.
Can we stop trying to find uses for it that have nothing whatsoever to do with
its intended purpose? I mean hammers make wonderful paperweights but they're a
lot more useful for driving nails.
