Pure Opinion

This reads like an Op Ed, though it is not clearly labeled as such. The author takes many strides to make it painfully obvious that opinions are being expressed in a few places for those who are not picking up on the tone. I would give this 5 stars if it were openly labeled as an Op Ed up front, but the tone makes it pretty clear so I am only deducting a half star for it.

A good article to stay up to date on the new Facebook project. I found it very interesting and complete, if you want to have an overview of what will be their new platform this is definitely the right article.

I agree with reviewer Jacob B. that the piece reads like an op-ed, but I also found its tone to be useful when explaining the context of the story- more precisely that Facebook is finally using human editors despite years of rejecting the notion. Although there is a clear anti-Facebook sentiment in this Peter Kafka story, I found the context to be very helpful and am glad he framed it the way he did.
