Post by Faithfree » Thu Jan 23, 2014 3:05 am

Experts are predicting the imminent decline of Facebook - the inevitable bust after the boom.

Just when I'm starting to get into it. Actually no, I just link my Facebook with my Twitter so it seems like I have some semblance of a life.

I don't. :whisper:

Can't wait for facebook to go away. I just hope the replacement is not Google+. Fucking Google is the Borg.

Facebook suits me just fine. Along with email and skype it is a convenient and cheap means of staying in contact with family and friends all over the world. Because I have insisted so far to limit my list of contacts to only those people I have met in person, the list is rather small, but it keeps things simple. One thing facebook is not at all suited for, is sustained discussions of any sort, but then that is not its purpose right from its inception.

If Facebook disappears, how will I ever communicate with friends and family? :nervous:

Google+ is actually pretty good. :dunno:

It's not as intimately social as Facebook, but that's why I like it. There are a lot of cool feeds with interesting / genuinely funny stuff.
