Wired on Facebook

Will Facebook monetize on their proprietary stream of 200 million users before we realize face to face interactions are how socialization is supposed to happen?

“… this data comprises a mammoth amount of activity, almost a second Internet. By Facebook’s estimates, every month users share 4 billion pieces of information—news stories, status updates, birthday wishes, and so on. They also upload 850 million photos and 8 million videos.”

Will the social graph prevail?
Wired has the article with all the answers.
