Social networks got game

I really like Jay Fienberg's reflections based on various posts of mine. Drawing from his arguments:

1) gaming is half of the draw of these sites (and thus failing to properly support and acknowlege this put the creator at a disadvantage);

2) expecting real identity without social or political regulation and meaningful consequences for failing to conform is naive;

3) rule enforcement without meaningful consequences encourages anti-establishment activities that undermine attempts at rule enforcement.
