@dguido EdgeRank makes sure ur stream is dominated by things/ppl u want to see. MetaData: A talks to B daily survives crypto and is useful -
@dguido i'm not calling it evil.. Props to them for giving away the other snooping they could do. Just saying it exemplifies value of metaD -
@haroonmeer I really think that factors into the valuation only a marginal amount. All the value is in the established relationships w users -
@dguido I have to disagree. NSA snooping really spooked companies like Facebook with trust deeply embedded into their brand@haroonmeer
