Does it really matter what media is used as long as it is out there for people to find thats what its all about.

Interestingly the motor car caught on and prospered because of the popularity of the horse, didn't it?
So (for example) if you're having dinner with someone you shouldn't be, and someone takes a photo in the restaurant, you can be found. How much would "paranoidpartners.com" pay for access to that data?
Regarding the motor car. What accelerated the acceptance somewhat was the fact that your average High Street was becoming full of horse crap and horse pee was becoming a real problem.
I will see if I can't look up a reference later on, but I do believe that horse pee from waiting hackney cabs is still a problem at Euston station today. So much of it soaked into the ground there over the years.
The analogy with Second Life, that a lot of people mention, is not really valid in my opinion - Second Life (virtual reality platform) and Facebook (social network) are incredibly different things - the only real link being that they are computer-based.
Someone I know was caught up in the news from the Aintree bombings (years ago) in a place he wasn't supposed to be and with someone he shouldn't have been with. You don't have to be accidentally pictured on facebook for that to happen.
the cool people who were the original facebookers have pretty much dropped it. .
