Facebook a fad?

Facebook fatigue: Half of Americans say Facebook is a passing fad, IPO shares overpriced - thestar.com

Half of Americans think Facebook is a passing fad, according to the results of a new Associated Press-CNBC poll. And, in the run-up to the social network’s initial public offering of stock, half of Americans also say the social network’s expected asking price is too high.

The company Mark Zuckerberg created as a Harvard student eight years ago is preparing for what looks to be the biggest Internet IPO ever. Expected later this week, Facebook’s Wall Street debut could value the company at $100 billion, making it worth more than Disney, Ford and Kraft Foods.

Facebook has been at the top since 07 now. If it was a fad, some other social network would have come and taken over. Twitter is creeping up though. I might fukk around and get me one.

 

[Never Forget]

I dropped facebook sometime last yr and never looked back

AOL, black planet, and Myspace agrees with this article.


Social networking will never die though, it will just change vehicles every so often....Facebook will eventually fade away and something else will replace it


The Coli is a prime example

Yeah, it was cool at first even back in 09, 10 but now its just a bunch of articles, pics, youtube links. Its starting to get like Myspace. I still have my page but I haven't posted anything since Feb. Too many family members and conservative friends. I gets rachet on twitter tho

Also women took over Facebook, hardly any of my potnas post on there.

Facebook is too large to fall but, they're quickly becoming the out of touch parent. I know they have 800 million accounts but, i would like to know how many are truly active. I still have my two FB profiles but, i haven't updated shyt since December. Just spying on people mainly.

For every older person that gets bored of it there is another youngster who is just now signing up.

I wouldnt buy the stock simply because i dont know what they could do to expand the business enough to make big returns.

Facebook isn't going anywhere, its made too much money and too "integrated with everything" for that to happen.

 

[So UnThotful]

i notice that everyone on my friends list dont really do shyt on facebook.

This. And the second part.

I never seen a guy put up a picture that says that you hate Jesus if you don't share it. Or post some horrible story because "facebook companies will pay 15 cents per share."

I can't believe people still fall for chain letter shyt in 2012

I have about 450 friends but it seems like the same 10 are the ones posting shyt. Its not going anywhere but you won't miss anything if you left.
