Facebook giveth, Facebook taketh away

Facebook giveth, Facebook taketh away.

Now that Cheese Station G’s bitch slap pagerank updates are behind us (for the moment anyway…), there’s a far more disconcerting phenomenon to, er, face up to: Facebook bitch slaps.

Without rhyme, reason and with no recourse, the social networking site Facebook has taken to purging the ranks of its members, blackballing them for the most petty breaches of its terms of service.

What’s Facebook up to? Are they trying to forge a short cut to the Hype Cycle’s trough of disillusionment? The words of Jimmy Durante seem apt:

Be nice to people on your way up because you meet them on your way down.

All is forgiven MySpace… ;)
