I predict disaster for Facebook

[BuckyRea]

The people who haven't tried Facebook should before saying it sucks. That is all.

I've tried it. It sucks. But that said, I think it wouldn't be a bad move to snap up some Facebook stocks now and dump them for whatever profit you can haul out in the couple of years.

 

[Murky]

I think about the only thing that cool about facebook is being able to stay in touch with people who live far way. If facebook is your only source of friends, you must have a pretty sad life.

 

[Cheetah]

I find friends in the real world, and then I put them in facebook. Facebook is great for storing friends.

I let them out once in a while too.

 

[Skwink]

I think the internet would be a lot nicer if Facebook vanished tomorrow. But thats just my opinion.

Explain.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

If you need Facebook to stay in contact with faraway people then you aren't good at keeping in contact.

Remember, the evil squid already has a tentacle on it, don't wait too long.
If they only could sink each other...

So how is it bad?

 

[Theige]

You don't need facebook to keep in touch with people, but it's incredibly convenient, especially if you have a very wide group of friends that you don't see very often.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Explain.

Its creepy because its literally everywhere. And the privacy breaches freak me out too.

 

[madviking]

I guess it's good for high school/college friends. But if you didn't have any friends in high school/college then it's kinda pointless.

 

[GamezRule]

It's good because it is convenient. Since when is moving forward a bad thing?

 

[SuperJay]

Since when is using Facebook considered "moving forward?"

 

[Camikaze]

Without a major social-tech change involving our cell phones facebook isn't going anywhere.

Yeah, but the thing is, those innovations happen.

I thought that facebook was that major social-tech change involving phones. Using facebook on phones only requires internet access, so I'm unsure as to what likely change would provide advantages over it and displace it.

 

[GamezRule]

I consider it part of society as a whole progressing.

 

[SuperJay]

I consider it part of society as a whole progressing.

Zuckerberg's work is done - the brainwashing is complete!

(I'm just kiddin with ya. But no, FB does not constitute the progress of a society.)

 

[GamezRule]

It does in my warped mind.

 

[Dachs]

(I'm just kiddin with ya. But no, FB does not constitute the progress of a society.)

Why not? Progress is in the eye of the beholder.

 

[flamingzaroc121]

Is it ironic that members of an online forum are bashing facebook?

 

[SuperJay]

Why not? Progress is in the eye of the beholder.

Mmmkay.

 

[CurtSibling]

People either like social networking (for work contacts or chatting) or not.

The only reason I would use these features is for the work factor.

My friends are all existant in RL, so I don't require FB for that.
