About the only thing I use Facebook for now is discussions in the FaceBook group, RethinkingHell.

Facebook is killing itself with their ridiculous “news” feed, people “dedicating” their birthdays to spoonfed leftwinger causes, plus relentless advertising. I keep it simply to be apprised of events my various clubs have published into the calendar feature.

I’m not sure how Facebook survives long term. It is a privacy nightmare, a data miner, terminally politically correct.

I did like Xanga. It was a great place to write short and not so short pieces and get comments and critiques. I made friends (real ones, not the kind you "unfriend" in a snit) that I have visited and stayed with in SEA. I was able to help numerous Việt and Thai and one Burmese with their English and got some constructive help with my tiệ́ng Việt. Facebook looked like a mindless chatter site and I have felt no attraction to it. I have a presence on FB of sorts because two of my children set me up sites thinking they were getting me up to Trend. They use them. I don't.

Facebook usage in my household

Myself: Never used FB, no desire to join the hive-mind
Wife: Uses FB a lot
Daughter, 33: Rarely uses FB. Uses for work only.
Son, 30: Never uses FB. “Why would I use that?”
Daughter, 20: Rarely uses FB. “FB sucks.”
Daughter, 18: Never uses FB, “FB is for old people”
Daughter, 16: Never uses FB. “LOL.. Facebook. LOL”

FB will crash and burn eventually.

I never understood individuals using it to begin with. if you have a computer you have email, if you have email you have a contact list and can just send what you want to share to everyone at once.

Another thing I never understood was this friend bullshit, I knew a person who was all excited by strangers friending him and by how many of them there were. I found that to be ..........sad.

One year later where is the social change on the Left to renounce their militant attempts to take over congress and America?

The author of this BeastBitch is wrong on so many counts including eliminating Gen Y/Whine and jumping straight to Z and was 12 when Myspace dropped the age from 18 to 13 shortly before IPO and eventual a abandonment because NewsCorp bought it (ewww Fox) but thinks he isn't a millennial...

Will Gen Z Finally Kill Facebook?

There are billions of users world wide who don't care and aren't aware of what's going on with their data.

The chances of someone creating an alternative seems slim.

Facebook will be around for awhile.

The grannies we know, text and email. My wife, my sister and our In Laws text and email.

The heavy users are the 40-50+ year olds who need to know what the rest of their world is doing and to share with them what they are doing or often not doing. This group is mainly female and they are also fighting Father time as they age each day and don’t want to admit it.

None of our male relatives use Facebook, from teens to those of us pushing 80 or over it. We text, use email and still make phone calls to those we care about. We meet for lunch if geography allows it. If not we call on a regular basis.

One of our 50 year old adult sons, feels that the heavy Facebook users in his age group are the same people who lived or died to be in the “In Groups” in high school from fashion to music to movies and how they talked.

The day he and his few good friends were graduated from high school, they left that world behind and started being adults.

However, we still live in America, if a large % of our population loves Facebook and enjoy using, that is fine.

And yet, truth be told, there are a multitude of Freepers still using FaceBook for varied reasons.....all of them still helping to keep the cesspool alive......go figure.
