Facebook irony?

["Rob, grandpa of Ryan, Trevor, Devon & Hannah" <rmslade () shaw ca>]

Two items showed up in my Twitter feed, one after the other, from BBC news.

First:
Zuckerberg's plan to widen web access

(BBC video links generally do work pretty much anywhere ...)

Second:
Facebook quietly ends email service

(Actually, although the headline sounds pretty bad, I agree with the Facebook 
decision.  I've always felt that Facebook was a divisive and isolating force within 
the Internet, and this is a move in the right direction.  *If* it works as advertised, 
people should be able to send a message to rslade () facebook com and have it 
actually get to me.  However, test so far is negative ...)
