Stephan, Facebook is for people with friends, you obviously have none, so it’s probably not for you.
Plus it’s a complete waste of time.
Thank you for the advice.
Signing up now would be like arriving into a pub as the bar is shutting.
Facebook is finished.

I’ll stay away from it then. What I never had I won’t miss.
good decision
better to be cautious with these kind of things
So Facebook has doubled in value in the last year. I certainly didn’t see that coming.
Its still an overpriced stock in my opinion and will blow up someday.

Yeah, I agree. Their ad revenue has been a big gain for them but I think that will struggle to continue. They need to continue to grow it, not to maintain it, and I think facebook reached its saturation point and as ads take over and the first generation of users grow a bit older and a bit tired of it, it will inevitably get relaced by something else - like TFK.
Position they have in the market allows them to do other stuff in the same way google did so they will move away from just being facebook.com. For exampel they were able to buy instagram as kids are leaving facebook for instagram
facebook wants your facebook log in to be your universal internet log in - witness all the various apps and sites you can now log into and access using your facebook log in.
pandoras box has been opened in terms of what people reveal about themselves in terms of data
maybe are due the next wave of disruptive technology, certainly if things like google glasses take off then the world will be unrecognisable in 5 years

I think you’re right about widening their appeal and their products but they will still struggle to get reasons to compel users to visit and stay on their site. After the initial wave of befriending people on Facebook, what’s there to keep you returning - they have those apps but they’re gimmickery. Instagram and other alternatives will broaden their exposure but they’re not as good a mechanism for delivering ads as say Twitter - which has constantly replenishing content which provides everyone with a need to return.
It will certainly be about the data they can gather from your browsing experience off facebook but I think they’ve a long way to catch up with Google there.
Apparently the uptake of Facebook by the younger teens coming through is much slower now as well. They see it as something that their parents use, so have no real urge to join it. My Facebook stream these days is just an endless list of “like & share” competitions. Was never a big user of it, and find myself using it less and less.
Agreed. Twitter and Google+ are where its at
I deactivated long ago. Did the same with Twitter recently. Too much mindless time reading what other people are thinking.
Reckon I have freed an extra few hours a week in the process. Though I suspect TFK input has risen as a result. 
I use it for perving-nothing else. Every other male I know is the same apart from freaks posting photos of pints of beer with the message “I’m some mad bastard I’m on the piss again” which gets 100 likes. Fucking saddos.

Maybe not the right thread for this @Kinvara’s Passion - but passed through Kinvara recently and was rather taken by the beauty of it. Nice part of the world.
You didn’t stop off an make it an integral focal point of your journey? Im greatly disappointed @Rocko
It’s great for keeping in touch with people abroad I reckon. There are still vast emerging markets to tap into for them too.
I only realised on the road from Galway to Kinvara that the lights on my car weren’t working. Dusk had fallen and I was conscious of the rural roads on my journey to Doolin so I had little choice but to push on through. I certainly left a little of my heart behind in Kinvara, though I was somewhat irked by the roadsign spellings with the double “n”.
