We should replace Facebook with personal websites
>most of what people like about Facebook—namely the urge to post about their lives online.Where does the author get that idea?  The majority of Facebook's 2 billion users do not post to their profile feed.  Instead, the FB account is mostly used as a way to passively receive content.  Some of the content is from family and friends, and some is from media outlets (NYTimes, etc).Recommending "personal websites" is talking about a solution to a problem that most of the billion users don't have.The way most people use Facebook is more of an RSS feed rather than a 1999 Geocities personal website.  (But that doesn't mean RSS readers can replace Facebook because that technology is missing a "real names" reverse directory lookup database.)
