Facebook isn't the only one that killed it. Wikipedia did too, since there's a huge incentive to centralise all the information in one place. If you write one sentence in a wiki article, it'll be read by many, many more people than if you write ten pages on your own site. So now, if you want to write information that doesn't sit well in wikipedia, or express a perspective that is not mainstream enough to fit in wikipedia, then you can just do it in the facebook-hackernews-reddit "click and it's gone" osphere.

I'm increasingly of a mind to create an old school pre-blogging web page. That was the ideal of the web. I have enough content, it's just the time.
