    I had to laugh when I read about Facebook's latest effort to woo businesses. While Facebook wants to look like its well ahead of Google + in the commercial uses of social networking, its track record of dealing with users suggests that businesses should not rely on it.

    Mobile payment systems: A disaster waiting to happen 02/06/2011 00:06:00
