And on the 8th Day, God Said No Facebook!

Do we really need Facebook's social inbox?
So the splashy headlines the media seem to be going with, at least in the UK, are along the lines of 'Mark Zuckerberg says email is dead', which is a pretty ridiculous statement but is, of course, great PR.

Everyone except me?

Facebook email: How your email went social
There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things. - Niccolo Machiavelli

What the Hell is Facebook Playing At?
OK, so two things. First, Zuckerberg and co seem to be on a one way mission to annoy people. There are seemingly endless tweaks being made to Facebook at present and it feels like every time I login there's something different or something new. Now I'm not against change - I love progress! I love it when something is added or altered in a social network (or anything else for that matter) that enhances its functionality or usefulness or efficiency or results.

Your Real Twitter Advocates are Not Who You Think
I read a blog post last week that stated something along the lines of "show me a Twitter user who says he doesn't care about follower numbers and I'll show you a liar". It struck a chord - as much as any of us harp on about quality over quantity and about influence and all that other social media bull (it might be true, but it's still bull), the plain fact is that we want more followers. More, more, more!
