That said, I am in fact a mental_floss fan…

The baseline objection to “social netowrking sites” notwithstanding I also think having a separate facebook page is just bad design. I mean come on, why not allow more user generated content onto this site than water down the brand by branching out like this?

If this is an outreach effort than it is bound to yield undesirable results. I fear it won’t be long before the comments sections are filled with the same idle minded chatter you find most everywhere else these days.

PS – Boy am I getting cranky in my mid twenties, hope I’m not fading out of the target demographic ;-)
