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.

    Nah, I was actually teasing you, & that is why I put the ;-) at the end of my comment - [sarcasm, the highest form of humor] (& YOU are calling ME a "new kid on the block"?), sheesh!. You didn't have to be rude & offensive in your response to me. I can understand now that it probably wasn't your political views that got you kicked off of FB, but rather your lack of a sense of humor. [humor]

    btw, you're right, I don't know WHAT I'm talking to, so I'd appreciate it if you could enlighten me [an egotistical jerk or biotch, not sure which since you have not noted your sex on your profile, or maybe just a knee-jerked?]. Now, as for WHO you are . . .Romney, is that you??? [humor]

    Finally, unless you plan on taking your posts underground, I'd suggest, that you get used to others opining when you write something. ;-) [humor]

    P.S. I've been on this site for 4 yrs, so I wouldn't exactly consider myself a neophyte, but hey, you're not the first conservative or independent I've met on here who has the proverbial stick up their butt. Have a great week! [humor]

    P.S.S. We probably have more in common than you might think, so try not to shoot yourself in the foot when you respond, lol. I'm truly not your enemy. ;-)

    No, I don't believe I owe you an apology; after all, you actually ADMITTED to being in a "pissy mood" when you made your comment to me, which pretty much means I was correct in my assessment. May it be also noted that you neglected to apologize for it, & just because I called you on your rudeness, & made some excellent points (admit it, I did), is no reason for you to receive an apology from me.

    Perhaps you should be taking your angst out on the one who is "irking" you, & not be doing peripheral damage on the innocent. New Kid on the Block may have deserved it; I didn't.

    You'll just have to take your lumps; your bad. ;-) [humor]

    I leave you in peace . . .

    I thought I already did . . "I'm truly not your enemy, & "I leave you in peace..." were not exactly war cries. Jimmeny Cricket!

    Truly, you need to relax a bit. I find that shooting my gun & working on survival tactics does wonders for stress relief . . .

    More sick & tired of the unintelligent people who differ with you on a comment who resort to vulgar comments and insults. Seems to be the majority ( I may be wrong) of these people are of the Liberal, Progressive, or atheistic background. It okay to disagree with people but when you resort to resorting to a Neanderthal Mind and resort to personal insults, foul language a person loses any creditability.

    Got bored of it long ago! But then again a few people updating their every thought and mundane activity did take away from the more interesting stuff like outing requests and all that. Still, what are phones for? Playing Angry Birds?

    Facebook is just a shrine you build for your ego.... and that's never something you should feed... to be a better human it's best to let your ego die... only then can you see through the eyes of the universe.

    Facebook replaced MySpace and now it is time for the next best thing to come along and replace facebook. I have some names; Spacebook or MyFace. I personally like the last one. Just think of the invites. "Dear Friend; Would you like to come on MyFace?" Brilliant!

    I've kind of moved on to MeetMe. But there are some things lacking on meetme, like a search feature. I can't find friends or individual people. Which I really don't like.

    I rather keep in touch through SKYPE. it is the closest thing to phone homw in the 21 st century. I do like keeping up with the bands and people in them on Facebook and My space and don't forget fandelism.
