I would be a buyer. Unfortunately, I missed the train with Google.

As an user, I think that Facebook will need to resolve privacy concerns. Facebook collects personal data (account, quizzes, games) and can share with third-parties. This is a major issue… very private personal information is easily accessible on the web… Can Facebook protect the users by limiting the information shared ? I think so!
