This goes to the heart of the American Dream (not the, work hard,
lets all get rich hype) but that of a governmental experiment of for
the people, by the people... the US founding fathers were rather
influenced by a range of thoughts on governance (Jefferson even had
a Quran, along with Kant type thinking) where the "good" had a much
clearer conception than current (the market is always right)... and
one of those key issues was the enlightened individual... so does
web2.0 basically reduce or increase our ability to make our own
choices not subordinated to other goals/logics...<br>

It depends a lot on your demographic. Some people
don't need it,<br>
others discover it's inextricably woven into their
world (for<br>
example Universities that schedule student seminars
via FB).<br>
<br>
They haven't even thought about it much (the
Universities that is).<br>
<br>
Even I was guilty of scheduling professional meetings
using Google Calendar, although the obvious drawbacks
of having such an account may well be less than an
equivalent FB one.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
