Facebook on the decline ?

Would be interesting to see year-on-year comparisons; their comparison with previous month for the US could be influenced by factors like the changing seasons [speculation: people use facebook more in the winter months, now the clocks have gone forward and evenings are lighter, people are out and about more not faffing about online].
 
I use it to keep in contact with friends all over the world - for this it's very good. I follow a few products and keep up to date on their future releases and can often find exclusive content (e.g Gearbox Software with Shift Codes).
My wife uses it to compare her friends' ugly babies and wind her 19 year old orange sister up over her latest dating disaster.
As a social connection tool, alongside Skype, phones, face to face talking etc, it's fine.
As the sole means of social interaction between the great unwashed, it needs destroying, or at least a basic spell/grammar checker.
The amount of entertainment I get from the inane dolescum rantings in the comments, such as the Hampshire Constabulary page, is particularly great.

What's happened to facebook is what happens to any site that become popular with the mainstream public, it's made easier for people to use and connect and the side effect of that is that is that it's made that easy that absolute morons figure out how to use it.

Ebay is another example. When it was lesser known you could find some proper bargains on there and people held their ends. It became popular and easier to use and now it's just full of scammers looking for a quick buck.

Sounds like Instagram. I love so many of these certain people that take any crummy photo and slap these filters on them then they're all acting like photo experts. Heh!
 
I use Facebook sparingly for a close group of real friends that I really know, and absolutely love it.

Strangely, I'm not afflicted by many of the problems mentioned in this thread.
 
I'm begrudgingly fond of Facebook, if that is even possible. Once you've blocked the ads and the eejits it isn't too bad.

There's one thing guaranteed to get my blood boiling and that's those images people post which say something like "Click LIKE if you're against cancer" or "Click LIKE if you love your Grandma and don't want her to die". I'm stressing out just thinking about it. :mad:
 
I don't use it any more either. To be fair, I got fed up of reading most people's crap anyway, then I got a Galaxy Tab and got to check out the mobile FB and it was riddled with adverts so just ditched the lot.

Don't miss it at all.

Tempted to put a comment on it like "flat chested do not want, the runner looks like a man you must really aspire to be one"
I can only imagine the glorious reaction from all the female friends of a friend :D
My sister posted it though which refrains me from doing so :(
