SecretsFacebook is big… really big.

And things that big get picked on. Hey, it may not be fair but that’s just the way it is. Don’t cry for Facebook of course, they have about 146 million reasons (annual revenue + active users) to not care about prattle coming from nay-sayers.

This article is not about the nay-sayers though, nor is it about feeling sorry for Facebook…

I did want to talk about one comment that was made to me earlier this week though. I was told (paraphrased, I’m sure):

But I like to share so I will…

Ready for this? It’s really simple, but really huge…

See, simple. But core to eCommerce 2.0. And Facebook knows this.
