Awww, seriously, I have to work on being nice every day. It's not easy. But thanks for your kind koments.

Agreed it "has" to go, but the actual time frame of it going? I say at least 5 years. For the transition to take place on the US all parties need to agree. There doesnt seem to be a consensus yet and in some circles there is buzz that Chip and PIN may never happen here that we will go right to NFC via mobile. Just sayin. 

Numbers are numbers. Data doesn't lie. And if a comparison in numbers is relevant then so be it. The author padded his statement by saying "if" Facebook were a country..., which I'm pretty sure we know it isn't, then the comparison make relative sense. The comparison comes from the fact that there is a sense of community and countries are made of communities. It's a pretty amazing phenom that today we have anything at all that brings a half billion people together in some way on an ongoing basis. Only media I know of is TV that has come close to doing that (maybe World cup?) and it's a one time event that doesn't give anyone a 'say' or sense of community.
