Raging Hippie

Here’s the thing about Facebook that really gets under my skin: They are slowly incorporating the features from every other independent web application on the internet. This is not inherently a problem—companies get bigger and they begin to have the resources to widen their feature set—the issue…

True.  Facebook is pushing all the competing services they choose to “integrate” to generally only win over the more serious crowd.  Flickr is still relevant thanks to serious photographers who want to share/view high-res images and not just your uncle uploading his vacation pictures.  Same for Vimeo, but for discerning videographers and their viewers.

Know what this reminds me of?  Windows vs. Mac OS X.  Windows is for the less discerning, Mac OS X for those who care for the quality of their computing experience.
