A Testament To The Lameness of Facebook

In thinking about my identity theft last year...when a traitor made a fake facebook page of me...it occurred to me there is something deeply wrong with a site whereby people are ready to accept the false me as real. What does it say about a technology that can trick a group of my online "friends" into thinking a fake me is real? Especially a technology designed to be personal, trustworthy, and solely about "online identity?"

For example - email - a simple communication technology - is rarely the victim of stolen identity or other forms of fraud. Remember prank calling? Remember how difficult it was to effectively prank call someone? Or have you ever tried disguising yourself as someone else like in Mission Impossible? Very difficult. Yet with Facebook, this dumb, needy, narcissistic site, my identity was stolen and validated by those who knew me.
