I enjoy facebook, but like many things in this life, it can be a big waste of time (no different than people who golf their lives away). Facebook is pretty invasive though, so I imagine some other thing will eventually surpass it.
I have no issue with the fact something will eventually replace Facebook. It’s not “if” but “when”. But, Facebook has its legitimate uses, and that’s what I was pointing out. If I do make a post on my page, it’s not something I’m worried some prospective employer will find to be a problem; I’m retired, and I’m too smart to do that anyway. I only post what I want people to see.
But it’s use goes way beyond the personal fluff. It lets groups and organizations interact in a far more timely fashion than email, and that’s a good thing. It also allows them to get recognition (if they want) or keep things private. I’ve been a slow learner with Facebook, not being a very convivial type. But I’ve come to see its strengths, and am trying to use them to advantage.
