Is FaceBook in decline?
Now I used to use FaceBook a lot, especially when I was younger and in school. That's when it really was kickin' off and becoming BIG. Although now, as I've got older I hardly use it. I just occasionally check it just to check if somebodies messaged me. Am I the only one? I'm much more of a Twitter kinda guy now. Facebook just doesn't interest me as much. - Maybe my IRL friends are boring? - Either way I thought this was interested, and I'm not alone on this. Some of my friends as well share this view. Maybe it's because we're getting older?
Although is the new younger generation bringing the same activity to Facebook that we once did?
Thoughts?

Re: Is FaceBook in decline?
I don't have a Facebook anymore but my girlfriend has one, and from what I've noticed, it seems to be as popular as ever with pointless status updates but the other stuff; the games, the pictures, the links, etc, do seem to be declining. I guess that's because of new websites like Vine, Instagram and so on..

Re: Is FaceBook in decline?
Yeah I think it really depends on the people. I've really cleared out my facebook. Got rid of loads of people, I think that's just something that comes with getting older. You slowly move away from people you used to know who aren't really relevant in your life anymoreXenon wrote:I don't have a Facebook anymore but my girlfriend has one, and from what I've noticed, it seems to be as popular as ever with pointless status updates but the other stuff; the games, the pictures, the links, etc, do seem to be declining.

Re: Is FaceBook in decline?
I use Facebook every day to keep in contact with my boyfriend via the chat when we're not together for the week (yep, 4 years on and still not living with each other yet) but I've actually been trying to keep myself up to date on there to keep in touch with others. I do agree that apps are becoming more and more toss and I'm always still being invited to play them. I did only play one game ever and it was Rabbids Invasion back when the title just referred to a Farmville clone rather than the TV series, but had to stop after just 2 months because errors literally locked me out of the game and then it got shut down 8 months later.
The only app I do use, and that's to make it look like I post regularly, is the PSN app that lists any trophies I get.

Yeah the FaceBook chat rocks. That's one thing were Twitter fails. The DM'ing system just isn't as good.Cairnie wrote:I use Facebook every day to keep in contact with my boyfriend via the chat when we're not together for the week (yep, 4 years on and still not living with each other yet) but I've actually been trying to keep myself up to date on there to keep in touch with others.

Re: Is FaceBook in decline?
I only ever used Facebook to keep in touch with a few close friends, mainly through messaging. I hardly use it anymore, though.
The site is fine, but it really depends on what you want to use it for.

Re: Is FaceBook in decline?
Eh, facebook was popular when I first joined.
Now the only thing that's good about it is the groups and making pages

Re: Is FaceBook in decline?
This topic is three years old and Facebook is stronger than ever.
So for all the people who said that this wasn't popular were demonstrably wrong. Your usages of the website may have changed (mine certainly have) but it's still the reference for social media.

Facebook in decline? I've never believed that. What a strange discussion this was.

Re: Is FaceBook in decline?
The PSN Facebook app is long gone, I no longer play FB games, I get a laugh from pages like "Angry People in Local Newspapers", and I get the same promoted posts over and over again (food and bullet journals which are pleasant things though).
Now what?

With the addition of the marketplace now, they've just entered a new era, singlehandedly owning Craigslist overnight. I've already gotten three things from it, including a fully-specced 15" retina 2013 MacBook Pro at basically 1/4 retail price.

Re: Is FaceBook in decline?
I think Facebook has now become one of those companies people love to hate, even if most people still use the site

Re: Is FaceBook in decline?
Facebook (the platform) has certainly declined in usage from the younger demographics, but the company was smart enough to secure the cover of Instagram and Whatsapp. As for Twitter, I don't get the impression that it has grown much in the last 10 years.

It's grown in acrimony I guess

Re: Is FaceBook in decline?
I must agree that negative posts seem to constitute the bulk of the content posted there. It shouldn't be too hard to validate this by running a sentiment analysis tool on a representative sample of tweets.

Re: Is FaceBook in decline?
Something tells me it won't hold up – it could be just that people remember the negative stuff more than the banal stuff!

Re: Is FaceBook in decline?
I just opened the website the check the latest trends and it somehow managed to surprise me again with the abysmal level of the conversations taking place there. Every day I'm less and less sure that all people should have the right to express themselves.
