            Like the old AT&T before it was broken up.

              So the capitalist state that is the USA, can't have one company that takes profit from capitalism?

                    Just wanted to create an Instagram account to follow my favorite singers. I will wait to see what will happen to it. If it dies I will go for Twitter instead.

                        Zuckerburg is a hideous person with a crappy website which is mainly used by older people.
                        As technology progresses facebook will be left behind and the only way facebook can continue is to buy up all the perceived competition.
                        Maybe there will be another website to destroy facebook's base soon but maybe not.
                        Until facebook is challenged it will continue to be the choice of advertisers and governments.
