Facebook Figures Fall In UK And US

[QUOTE="Optical_Order"]

Yeah, deleting your facebook is kind of weird too. When you click to do that Facbook tries to mind**** you and shows friends of yours with pictures and says "John will miss you!" "Karie will miss you!"

After I deleted it I got an email a week later saying my Facebook was reinstated :roll: I hope this site dies out. I don't get why people like to look at all of the pointless, self-indulgent statuses.

:? how do you delete it then?

I find Facebook to be a good medium with which to keep in touch with family and friends when i cant be near them. Its great for organising things, and is a good way to receive news and information. For me, it is cheaper than texting or calling via mobile (I get a data allowance on my phone while my plan remains cheap, and overall costs less than someone on Pre Paid would spend), and is a good way to talk with many friends at once (i cant exactly have 6 different phones going at once but on FB i can communicate with many people at the one time).

I have friends that live outside the country, and Facebook is a LOT cheaper than calling them, plus a lot easier as i can see when they are available to talk.

Plus, then there are pages of things like Sports Teams, which give daily updates on the site, and make the delivery of news andcontent based media more accessable.

No, i like Facebook, it gives me the ability to do many things that would otherwise take a great deal more effort (or money)otherwise.

So i hope it sticks around.

This is pretty much exactly how I feel about Facebook. Not sure why so many people hate it so much. If you don't like it you don't have to use it, but for those who do use it its a great tool for keeping in touch with others and organizing events.

I can understand the privacy concerns but the key is to just be smart and limit access/choose what kind of information you share. Some obvious things are not sharing your birthday(or at least your birth year), don't share your address, your middle name, basic things like that. Making your profile private is also another obvious, easy thing to do.

Oh well... I barely ever used mine in the short time that I had it. I didn't need that sort of social interaction with the people I know, its too much all the time.

It seems to me that people who don't really interact with many others don't like Facebook.Is that true for OT?

Because in all seriousness, there's no real reason to hate Facebook. Anything you don't want on Facebook will only go on there if you willingly do so. Plus there's loads of privacy options so that only certain people can see certain things. Plus it's an all-round great tool to use for many things that's probably already been mentioned in this thread by a few users.

If I don't like interacting with people on the Internet, then I must not like interacting with people in real life? Is that right? Maybe I'm not understanding what you're saying.

No no no, other way round. There's quite a few people in my school who aren't very sociable and always complain about Facebook. I was wondering if that would be same case for most people.

Oh. I have no idea. I don't know any un-sociable people.

I hate when people with no friends try to downplay other people for having facebook

I left it a couple of years ago.

It's awesome to see and catch up with friends that you haven't seen for years, but then it just kinda became a cesspool shameless marketing and people who don't really seem to grasp the internet and it's 'etiqutte', for lack of a better word.

I hardly use mine. Only used it today cuz my friend keeps tagging me in pictures. I had to go a detag myself.

It's only a matter of time before it ends up becoming like MySpace.

These sites are a fad.

Agreed. I don't see why people bash it. It's a great tool to keep connected with people.

Not surprising considering facebook was kicking thousands upon thousands of underage users off their site everyday. That had to be a bulk of the impact. ferrari2001

Yep, this.

I have a Facebook account but only have about 20-30 friends and hardly ever use it. I only sign in if I need to talk to friends.

Die Facebook Die

Yes!!! Can we all go to tumblr now? its awesome!

I made a Facebook account to look up one person, however she doesn't have a Facebook account so I don't use mine. =/

And anyway, a lotm of people are going to sign up to see what the fuss is about, and many more will get bored of it, I wouldn't imagine that Facebook could keep on growing without losing a whole bunch of people...

facebook used to be pretty fun actually in 2007. But then it went all mainstrem and now it's plagued with surveys, links with tracking cookies, and a really messed up chat system.

I have a facebook account. I don't understand all the hate, but I also only use it to keep in touch with old school friends. I don't play any games on it anymore. haven't in months and don't plan on it again. But for what I use facebook for, I like it.

I like facebook. Its nice being able to interact with people you dont get to see very often. Or just exchanging messages/information.

Its good.

Maybe those users died?

That's kind of funny, because I deactivated my facebook account this morning. I felt like I wasn't getting anything useful out of having it.

Yes!!! Can we all go to tumblr now? its awesome!martinX3X

Its no surprise to me. IMO its a stupid site anyway, never understood the fad.

Maybe we can siphon of those FB mongers here on OT, but on second thought they would just make it dull

:P

This is just the beginning. Facebook will fade into obscurity just as every social network before it has done. Should be interesting to see what the next fad is. PernicioEnigma
