Do you still use Facebook?

We all remember Myspace except Darthskywalker0 who was in his Cot in 2008 and Kurk, DMB, Squall X and Ellimist who were too young to have accounts. People left myspace for destination facebook in 2009. In 2014 I made a personal choice to shut my Facebook account, I had about 1000 "friends", I realised I only talked to about 10 people regularly whom I didn't talk to in real life and maybe 20 others occasionally, I had strange people from Highschool, Rugby Clubs, University and past jobs who I hadn't seen for decades liking posts and pictures, it all seemed weird. Wattsapp came out and I realised I could have groups with the people I cared about and needed to have groups for other purposes. Now we have the data mining scare, I ask who is still on Facebook and if so why? What does Facebook do for you? The only KMCer I ever had on Facebook was Marius, who is a genuinely good guy.

Never used Myspace. Was a very late joiner to Facebook, and aside from the "It's XXXX Birth Day Today" reminder, I rarely use it. It's on my phone, can't recall the last time I logged in on a computer.

Never used Facebook.

I use it every day to set up ad campaigns!

Although I don't use it for keeping in touch with people nor do I allow my son on the platform.

Out of interest Snow Dragon, genuine question no trolling, do you think Facebook is declining from what you see in advertising revenue?

Facebook isn't a great platform to sell directly on, it is, however, a good lead generator, list builder, great for CPA marketing (where you just need an email type form signup.) I don't see a decline because it can create instantaneous gratification on micro transactions or downloads.

For direct selling google, yahoo, bing (secondary search engines not included here) with SEO is better.

I use FB, but it’s become stagnant lately.

Look at the stats: everyone still uses FB, despite the recent security kerfuffle. It lost a sh*t-ton of value, but is still a juggernaut.

It's a social calendar for me. I could take or leave 99% of updates, which is why I unfollow literally everyone (aside from, like, SOs). But I couldn't exist socially without it at this point. Or rather, I could, but it would increase the logistical overhead astronomically.

Pretty much, this is just a small blip in the bigger picture. People will still be addicted to Social Media and FB has close to 1/3rd of the world's population using it in some fashion, from the very passive user like me, to people who can't go an hour without logging on and posting what they ate, the color shirt they're wearing or the circumference of the last turd they plopped into the toilet.

Had an Account. Almost never even Visited it. Deleted it a couple of months before the Big Info Steal.

So HA! Sucks to be those Losers!

Yes, I still used Facebook. I've had like 50 accounts, but not much happens.

I follow an orchestra from Germany on Facebook and Twitter. I'm flying to see them perform in NYC a day before my birthday. I'm trying to go to Germany for a week of classes with some of them, too. I like one violinist in it but like the rest. I don't know if she'll be at the performance and she's not teaching this time at the school.

Why not get a BlogSpot?

No. I disabled my account.

Are you referring to when it was made public? The actual acquisition of the info happened well before that. Just like how we hear about info-hacks (Yahoo, Ashley Madison, etc.) months or even years after it actually took place. For whatever reason, these things take time to come to light.

It's a bit of a moot point anyway. The amount of info Google and Amazon (among other, smaller players) collects on us is similarly onerous. None of us have anything resembling security or privacy online. Our only defense is the anonymity of large numbers.

But hey, laughing at millions of people for something that's not their fault... 👆

Nah. It was Months even before that.

But yes. Everyone's Info has been STOLEN at some point.

And I only LAUGH at thoe Facebookers that are ADDCITED to the site and are Stupid enough to put Private Info on a Public Site.

That I DO DO!!!!!!

Speaking my language buddy.

I use Facebook. I have a large family, lots of cousins and aunts and uncles that live across the country, as well as many online friends from my years at KMC that I keep in touch with via facebook. Without it I'd just lose touch with too many people I care about.
