Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook)

Dear Mark Zuckerberg,

I am concerned with the recent conglomeration of web 2.0 websites. As everyone in the world is now aware, YouTube was just acquired by Google. It’s rumored that Facebook is going to be bought by Yahoo.

One of the main reasons these community websites exist is to be an alternative to mainstream media conglomeration. It’s the future of news – unfiltered by advertisers and their interests, or other people with an agenda.

I am scared to see what happens to Facebook when it becomes another service in the Yahoo portfolio.

I do, however, understand why you would sell out. Who could say no to a billion dollars?

Sincerely,

Jeremy David
