What is a Friend?

The word ‘Friend’ has been destroyed the last 6 years.

A friend is someone who will take you the airport in a big city.

A friend will borrow money, truly believing he will pay you back with the full vig.

I have no ‘Friends of Facebook’ and ‘Friendster’ got what it deserved from the ‘Friend’ gods.

My daughter Rachel is just learning about Friends and than Facebook comes along.

One of my fave movies is Stephen Kink’s ‘The Dead Zone’:

Christopher Walken asks his doctor…’If you could turn back time and kill Hitler’….

Facebook is a lot of evil wrapped up in some cute ‘Like it and Friend’ buttons. The more I understand their business model, the more I see Equifax, wrapped around Moody’s, with a Goldman Sachs overlay. To top it off, the whole universe extension of the ‘Friend’ world in Facebook will revolve around a new currency. Facebook’s next big moves will be in Washington DC on the lobby side.

You can drink from the Facebook kool-aid, but you will have sold your ‘Friend’ soul to the devil.
