FReeper’s buying stock in the global cabal’s personal profile mining operation? I don’t think so.
The fad has passed. It’s become the place where grannies share recipes and geezers share fart jokes.
All the cool kids have gone elsewhere, cause they don’t want granny seeing their beer pong selfies.
I agree. Facebook, google etc. have been going up and down for years. So far they have always gone back up. Not bitcoins.
And cat pics...lots and lots of cat pics...
Too too tulip market goodbye
The kids hate Facebook, because it is used by gross old people, like their parents
The Millenials hate Facebook, because they need to keep up with the latest thing, and that ain’t Facebook
The Working Generation hates facebook because it censors their content, manipulates their newsfeeds, and wastes their time with nonsense
Grandma loves Facebook. Unfortunately, she forgot how to turn on the computer
From “Facebook” to “Face Palm” and empty wallets. Good!
I gotta say, though, when I was going through a job search, I found Facebook very useful.
I created a profile that was the profile of an ideal candidate for the job for which I was applying. When my eventual employer checked my “Social Media”, they found just what I wanted them to find.
You can’t buy that kind of endorsement. Worked like a charm.

Newscorp didn’t buy Myspace until they went public and soon dumped it but the cool kids all ran away to facebook.
Newscorp execs endorsed Kerry over Bush in 2004.
I have a lot of email accounts. But it’s different. Think of it as OneNote versus word.

Fakebook turned off ‘trending news’ last month.
“created an account because I live in Kentucky and all my family is all over the country. It was a way to stay in touch with everyone.”
Email, text, voice call, Skype, and good old fashioned letter writing.
Let's not be too hard on old Hillary.
They keep convincing people to stay away from Facebook. They succeeded with me about a decade ago. Maybe it was Russian bots disguised as friends that I like very much but don’t want to chat with ‘til 3 am?
Facebook does have a strong play on the youth market with Instagram, which is currently hugely popular.
It is a good way to keep track of family and old friends and I have. Course it does offer the opportunity for a good fight which is also fun’
I figured this was coming since I am using it less and less and am sure that is a general reaction.
