Maybe true. I never really thought about it but I am a NIN fan and when you think about the lyrics. It makes sense. Maybe not so much a conspiracy. Maybe true.

Certainly one of the most interesting conspiracy theories I've heard :) Thanks for such an entertaining read. NIN and Starwars intimately linked, eh?

Unable (or too lazy) to convey an original thought, people resort to these "proxies"--joining groups, etc. I'm going to have to check out this "Idiocracy". :) Patchdude that is a really great observation about Facebook doing things on "their own terms" while Twitter gives you the flexibility to control your interactions. Never thought about it that way, but it's exactly correct. Everything about Facebook's platform involves steering you toward behavior that benefits them--pushing you to "engage" with friends, advertising pages and groups, etc. Plus, and it's difficult to explain why, but you never really feel like you "own" the content like you do with Twitter. Well, I got Buzz today and I am loving it so far. It seems to offer everything Facebook offers (well, all the GOOD stuff anyway ;) but is much leaner and quicker. I look forward to playing with it some more.
