Facebook’s coming event on April 4th coined “Come See Our New Home On Android”. You knew it would never happen on April 1st, that’s for sure. Lots of folks are saying that this is actually a “Facebook Phone”.
I’m approached by many who are thankful for the work, but there are a few that seem to see this process differently. While speaking to one such person, I thought of what it meant to offer help, what makes me think I can do it – and where trolls fit into this process
