Re: Facebook Fate
There was an update in Instagram's terms of service, set to take effect in mid-January, that said IG would be allowed to use your photos for such purposes, 'though the actual intent was probably not as evil as it sounded.
There was an uproar, though, as there often is on FB, and IG changed its terms of service to something a bit more reasonable. You can read the details here.

Re: Facebook Fate
So....
you all use Facebook? or at least some of you???
I heard a commentary on that instagram that people use a lot on Facebook, that instagram uses your own photo that you take & post, & uses it for their own gain &/or some sort of advertisements.
If I am wrong, or if you have heard differently, please do say so.

I am fortunate in my current employment, we aren’t allowed to use our smart phones (or have them visible) on the clock and our work computers don’t have internet access, except to certain work-related websites. Anyhow, I hope 2013 is the year you take the plunge for both facebook and smartphones. I recommend Google’s Android!

I'm not so worried about all the privacy concerns, as it's too late for me to pull back from all the "out there" that I've already done. I just can't allow myself to spend that much time at the computer - it will draw me from other things in life that I must focus on.

Re: Facebook Fate
I'm active on Facebook. I dislike Facebook.
I often describe it as a crappy restaurant that all my friends go to. Maybe I just don't share the same tastes in decor or cuisine, but I'll go, because the people I like hang out there. I'd rather that critical mass of real people who mean something to me amass elsewhere, but for now, stopping in regularly is a necessity.
I have friends and family with whom I can't interact EXCEPT via Facebook. It annoys me to no end.
It's a walled garden. It's a closed system that's taking everyone's comfort in being "hidden" and slowly turning it into a giant jail where everyone's naked. It's AOL 2.0. And we've been here before. The best part of the disastrous IPO is that it finally became clear that it'd actually be possible for the massive behemoth to tumble and crumble.

New stock price low at $28.65 today. And we've yet to see shareholders who can't unload till their 3-month and 6-month lock-up periods are lifted.
