In his new book, "Digital Vertigo," Andrew Keen takes on Facebook and the social Web. He argues that the profusion of sharing online is "killing our species," dividing, diminishing, and disorienting humanity. He maintains that a kind of "digital narcissism," or exhibitionism, is becoming a salient feature of our culture, and that Facebook is "stealing the innocence of our inner lives." Okay.
