This seems like a good idea but surely will get a lot of hatred from people who think Facebook is trying to insert themselves into your life in ways/places it will be difficult to remove. Which is also a valid point. But do you care? Hmmmm...

Parents that grew up on AIM shouldn't really complain.

Facebook is a good app, decent service but kills life. Facebook IS trying to insert themselves into your life and as an addiction, so you can't live without them. That's exactly what their corporate strategy is.
