@CowLauncher That was a pretty pointless, venomous and inaccurate post.
He actually makes quite a good point, even though his motives are purely commercial.
FB *IS* trying to be a one-stop shop, aping every other service going; while Google appraoch is to tout its own wares, but ultimately leave you the choice. I use some Google services, and love 'em; others I can live without - but that doesn't matter to Google, whereas FB tries to manipulate members into sharing everything, including their toenail clippings. It's an inward looking model, just like early AOL, Compuserve and others. It'll work for a good while, but unless they can keep up with every development, in every area of the Internet, people will start to bust out. Just like AOL, Compuserve.
All-in holiday camps are great for kids - I'm guessing you are one - but as you mature, you'll find that *choice* is much more important. Or not; we're all different.
