How long until FaceBook dies?

Couldn't of said it better myself ^

 

I know everyone does that dramatic "I'm deleting my Facebook account, actually" thing at some point, but I was seriously considering it in the last couple of weeks. The only reason I think that I can not is that people now use it as a means to let people know about events instead of email or phone, meaning I would not hear about parties and things like that without it.

Facebook has many uses, and yes it annoys all at time. But it is also a great way to stay in contact with groups of lost friends. Especially in post uni life. In my opinion, Facebook can be extremely pretentious and in many ways highlights uncomfortable behavioural traits, such as when you finally see the people in your friends list all they can talk about is that website, or the falsity of taken photos specifically to upload on to the site. Whatever happened to enjoying oneself BEFORE you document it?

 

Facebook is the google of social networking..dont think it will die..although cant see how it can grow anymore..

 

Like I said... It's not going to *die*, but I definitely think it will eventually start loosing members to the next "BIG" thing.

 

Facebook jumped the shark when the MySpace crowd commuted over. It was something special when it was 'exclusive.' Now its full of housewife drama and emo kids.

That being said, ads and privacy will be its downfall. Whenever someone comes up with a similar tool for networking that won't use advertising as the primary revenue model (let's get creative here guys) you'll see it fall.

 

Yeah... But it'll take something big to overrule FaceBook... I can't image what will be out next, LOL.

 

I think facebook will prevail for another 2 years at least and finally it will be replaced by another thing like that.

 

.. as Project Diaspora. But that one will evolve at autumn, imho.
Was nice startup on Kickstarter; backed it's goal by some bucks

 

Never heard of Project Diaspora

 

If I create MySpaceBook, would it kill Facebook? xD

 

Haha, that'd be infringing trademarks left right and center... And unfortunately it'd have no uniqueness to it. I bet FaceBook has even trademarked "Book" Haha. Wouldn't surprise me.
