Bear in mind, this was in 2007 or so, when people were still naively speculating what the "business model" for things like FB would be.

I hope some of you will check the original OH out, it’s weirder than most fiction, and still self-perpetuating. I'd highly recommend either paperback or audiobook "Ong's Hat: The Beginning" as a good place to start. More details about the project here: josephmatheny.com/ongs-hat-compleat/
