SocialMedia Traps

As a result of Facebook's f8 conference, Marc Zuckererg wants to become the "gatekeeper" of all the major websites.  Zuckerburg has proposed that he will intergrate his partners into Facebook as long as the visitors to the site log into Facebook before they can access the sight.  This means you will not be able to acess the big sites if you do not have a facebook account. Zuckerberg will soon have a monopoly of all the luxuries of the web.  A lot of people have been reacting negativley towards this idea of combining all websites with facebook.  Also facebook has been getting bad comments towards their new additions to the webpage.  With the institution of music, facebook hopes to become a hub for entertianment, not just a social zone.  Also with the addition of the new timelinefeature, users have been saying it is going to just make their facebok experience more annoying.  Some say it will make them more anti-social rather then social.  In my opinion there will be a large fluxuation in people using facebook.  I feel like a lot of the old facebook users will leave because of all the new changes, but there will also be a large income of new users.
