No admiration for what they're doing either. The notorious "applications", after their peak, nowadays go down to tetris-clone games office assistants play during their lunch break. Most importantly, Zuckerberg's post discloses the reason for Facebook's most problems. Need for more privacy control and more filtering. More and more users realizing they don't actually know who can watch the things they share, in the end dropping their profile after getting fed up from building numerous "Limited Lists", under the fear a friend of a friend who knows their boss sees their last status "I'm sick of work". What turned Facebook popular in the first place, (the real name and last name use) will be the same reason it goes down. Anonymity is sweet.

For my site, most of the "spam" are stupid kids that copy and paste "post this 100 more times or something bad will happen..." just like on YouTube. There are questions posted in the comments which I can answer, but they post as a guest and I have to trust they will come back to that page. I'm getting hundreds, maybe 1000 comments each day, so no, big communities cannot respond to all feedback. However if it's just one big topic like Facebook did, I'm sure Zuckerberg went through the first dozen pages and then some. Maybe the last dozen as well. Probably skimmed a little in-between.

Catching spam on Facebook has to be trickier (that is, less susceptible to spam bot filter detection and deletion) because the kinds of discourse on Facebook vary so wildly. On zeldman.com, a two-word reply followed by a dozen exclamation points would almost certainly be spam. On Facebook, it might well be a legitimate comment.
