Earlier this morning I went to my Facebook profile, and found changes I never authorized, and wouldn't have approved. Among other problems were random photographs, randomly cropped that I don't think were a good reflection of my work. There were other problems as well. I wasn't able to immediately correct the problem. I assume there is a procedure, but it seemed clear to me that the people at Facebook had no intention of making it easy for me to change what they felt were "improvements" to my profile.
As I thought about this, I realized that I was no longer felt the benefits of Facebook offset the constant effort to protect my privacy, as well as my on-line "persona". And I also thought about the fact that I have never (and I am sure never will) feel the need to protect my "online" self from Hank, our founder. After just a moments reflection, I realized that if I have something that seems interesting, creative or helpful to post I would rather that it show up here than on Facebook. How ironic (but predictable) that Mark Zuckerberg make billions, while Hank sacrifices. Winston Churchill once said..."We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." Thanks again, Hank, for what you give.
