Man: $#@ gmail locked me out! They texted me a security code, but there's no place to enter it! $#@ Facebook shut down my account because I logged in away from home. I can't get back in- and they don't have any customer service! How can a huge corporation have no way to contact them? Woman: To save money. Man: What about all the customers who take their business elsewhere? Woman: "Elsewhere"?

His problem is EXACTLY why I can’t use Facebook. I thought it was only me.

There’re other Facebook-like sites starting up or in existence… if Facebook is such a problem, support them.
My spouse had her GMail account locked out once. We got it unlocked via the security code text message. Turns out her account had been hacked by the Chinese and that’s why they shut it down. I have tried to stress the importance of stronger passwords… but I think it’s still lost on her.

“And it is not like these companies are getting money from you.”
Well, not directly. But they make money by exposing viewers to marketing messages. That’s why Facebook has all those stupid games and other devices designed to make you spend more time on the site. Your time is worth money to them.

There will be lots of nice shiny gadgets, probably implanted in our brains.
