Facebook was very useful to me back in 2007 to 2018. i’ve been living in a few different countries (business transfers) through my 20s and early 30s so I have contacts or even friends across the world.
Facebook was a great way to see what people you may not contact more than monthly, what they’re up to and perhaps some common points.
Perhaps if they make it a paid service with minimal payments, it would work - but they would have to settle for much lower revenues. And THAT would be anathema to the stock market.
but recently I found another use — my son’s phone was stolen and then a few days later was abandoned and found by a lady (it’s a “nothing” phone so difficult to hack) and she posted on a local facebook group — the cops to whom we reported this, they checked this group (we never thought of this) and voila, we got the phone back!
lost cats and dogs — Veto, imagine if your cat was lost, wouldn’t seeing her on this group really help you?
facebook could be very useful, but as a utility - and no stock market will tolerate that
Yes, those are useful aspects of Facebook. We do have a neighborhood page that talks about those things. And thanks for reminding me about lost cat. Company who made Daisy’s microchip is now out of business. Have to take her to vet for a new one.
I know women who look for husbands there. Friend of mine found one but he’s not as good-looking and intelligent as her first one. Finding foreign friends on Facebook also makes sense. keep checking to see if my friend in Rome has posted there recently. Nope.
