So, we are making business to Facebook. The point is to keep users at our site, not at some other site.
I thought the point was "to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free licensehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:free_contentor in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally"
I don't see the connection between those two issues.
I don't either.
You quoted WMF's (and our) general goal, I was talking about how to work on it. Besides all other things, one of the methods is to keep users at our sites instead of building tools for commercial (and close source) platforms.
Well, I disagree. I don't see how keeping users "at our sites" as long as possible is a method to meet that mission. I don't see how having users do their social networking at wikiwhatever.org helps people develop educational content under a free license. Getting users to come to "our sites" in the first place can be helpful, and creating plugins for sites like Facebook would do that.
