Are You Getting Bored With Facebook?

There may be more to Facebook's diminishing share prices than questionable growth opportunities. According to a Reuters survey of more than 1,000 people, about a third of active users say they're spending less time on Facebook, most of them stating that the social network is "boring" or irrelevant. Others complained about privacy concerns.

The Reuters survey also found that users generally don't purchase products or services because of Facebook ads or even friends' comments -- a major chink in Facebook's armor if they want to develop into an investor-friendly company. However, Facebook spokespeople claim the network has many clients, such as Nutella and Applebees, who have witnessed major profit boosts on Facebook advertising, suggesting it's at least possible to turn Facebook into a massive money-maker. But none of that matters if they keep losing steam with users. Are you getting bored of Facebook?

    Facebook does what it does. It's particularly good at introducing people who have common friends. I've had no problems with that. I'm certainly not bored with it.

    Plus, I haven't encountered any Obama haters or birther idiots on Facebook, while they are a major distraction on other social media.

    I got on the Internet in 1999. I indulged in everything it had to offer, Poker with play money, video games, chatting, social net working with friends lists, adult cams and with in a year an a half, I was sick of it ALL. Then ten years later came "facebook". Yes, I opened an account to find that it wasn't anything different then what I had all ready participated in. I had had it with this type of social networking. I was very turned off by the privacy settings and there were too many people asking to be on my friends list that I chose not to have anything to do with years ago.
    I know people that are addicted to facebook, why? I don't know. Facebook is a site for those who like to stick their nose in other people's business.

    By the way how is it social networking or communicating if its "post and forget" or friend-request and never hear from them again... it should relay be called "social-narcissism" then Websters could make the definition easy... " nar·cis·sism (noun) \ˈnär-sə-ˌsi-zəm\

    It goes in waves. Right now, really bored, yeah. The only reason I ever go on anymore is because there are about three people in my life who absolutely live there, and it's impossible to get a hold of them any other way.

    Depends on the people you have as friends. Some are enjoyable to interact with, some just post about daily crap no one needs to know about. Some bombard you with game requests.....

    I got bored with it the first day, but it's the easiest way to communicate with my daughter who is overseas in the military, & to keep track of friends & relatives. I spend about 5-10 minutes/week on FB. I have more to do with my life than to find out who picked their nose, had problems at WalMart, went out to eat, played FB silly games, or saw their kids this week. B-O-R-I-N-G & st-o-o-o-pid! I just want to find out who died, married, had kids, or moved, then I'm outta there as fast as I can.

    Been board with from day one. Only reason I have an account is because friends were bugging me to. The only time I ever touch is to approve friend request. I've never posted anything and never read anyone else's posts, played stupid games, sent stupid things or anything else.

    It's a colossal waste of time for narcissistic people that think other people care what they are doing all the time.

    And Twitter, don't even get me started on that. I've never even been on that site. That's the site for the pathologically narcissist.

    For most.............
    It is empty
    It is for weak people to manage their public relations.
    It is the instant gratification of a response from people that don't matter.

    If a person needs FB to fill the hole in their being it will never be filled.
    That holes is a bottomless pit when filled from the top.

    You must fill it from inside yourself.

    _____________________________

    Also I am a firm believer in the fact that you are suppose to lose contact with people in your life. As a result of other peoples social networks I am getting contacted by old girlfriends, high school, middle school and at least one elementary school girl and college buddies that I am better off without talking to again.
