Newspaper Article Assessment (Facebook)

This New York Times article is not too interesting because it does not have an opinion but only states the facts like most of the other articles I've read about facebook. Its boring but still is a authoritative source because new york times is a major paper with respected journalists. It talks about the history of facebook from the beginning to the present and how it has quickly become a part of social networking. The article focuses on the financial success of facebook more than the social part so i would not necessarily use it as a source in a paper about social networking.
