Recently on this blog, I talked about how people sometimes misunderstand the nature of certain websites in this post. Facebook and Google are sort of like apples and oranges: there is no way to directly compare them. Now, it seems some people are even willing to blame Facebook for the downturn in the economy.

Sorry for the dramatic headline, but I figured it might not hurt to use the same tactic that I’ve seen others employ with regard to my email inbox.
