Annnnd, therein lies the fundamental problem. College “facebooks” were designed purely to help kids meet other kids. Facebook the social media site more or less started out that way, morphed into “you can share anything you want with your pals and your groups,” and then in came the completely irrelevant “Hey, here are a bunch of news articles from godknowswhat sources.” Other than making FB rich, that last part - - and in fact pretty much any admission of businesses rather than people as “friends” – is what has made FB a hairy mess.
