> Also please get government organizations off of Facebook and Twitter.
I'm fine with that, since they are popular platforms, the problem is when Twitter or Facebook are used EXCLUSIVELY for communication, this is insane. Governments should have RSS channels or forums maintained by governments themselves as a redundancy.
Another thing is all these businesses that have delegated their entire customer service to... Twitter and Facebook. My ISP did this recently, you can't even call them anymore or email them, they don't have a public phone number or phone line, you must go through Twitter for support, this is INSANE. I immediately cancelled my plan with them as soon as I found out.
I am really not fine if you need to have a Facebook or Twitter account to follow. Add Facebook blocks any RSS attempt to grab post from their pages. Facebook is GeoCities with restrictions.
