Facebook to get to 1 billion users this summer?

When is too big, you know, too big?

Reading Jean-Luc’s tweet above earlier today, my happiness for Zuck and his crew was suddenly tempered by a deep sense of foreboding.

It was a nasty feeling of déjà vu!

Where had I seen this before, I asked myself?

Then it hit me: AOL

Yes, the late, unlamented AOL!

Remember when nary a day would pass by without some media outlet spouting off membership numbers for Steve Case’s boneyard?

Yes, it’s happening again.

This time, I eel bad, because I actually like the folks behind Facebook, despite how silly they sometimes behave.

*I have been informed that AOL is not late. In that case, feel free to believe that they are on DNR life support!
