And here is my entire “Company Loyalty” point in a nutshell
Google fucked up too, I’m not saying they didn’t. But somehow, their fuck ups seem diminutive compared to other fuck ups. When they introduced Buzz, they had privacy issues which they solved by putting a “Turn off Buzz” button. When they rolled out Events, people were flooded but there worst case was an annoyed Robert Scoble who had to delete events from his calendar one by one. Their worst fuck up I can think of right now is collecting wifi traffic data and not being transparent about it but even that was mostly a moral issue of privacy.
Here, in one of Facebook’s fuck ups, they practically erased user data! If I had anything on Facebook besides my name and birthday, I would be seriously pissed right now and on my way out the door. If you’re not, may I please know why? (And I’m sorry, the “Everyone is on Facebook” argument just isn’t good enough anymore).
