[Air-L] The Fallacy of Facebook's "See Friendship" 'Feature'

[Barry Wellman]

Lisa Selin Davis did a story about this in TIME, Nov 18, 2010":

"The Trouble with Facebook's New 'See Friendship' Feature"

My key quote: "We all live in segmented, diversified worlds. We might be 
juggling girlfriends, jobs or different groups of friends. But [Facebook 
thinks] we're in one integrated community."

In short, despite Facebook's name, they don't really understand the Social 
Network Revolution.
