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.

    Never was interested in it enough to be bored with it now. I've probably posted 12 times to my page over the last 5 years.

    OK--after thinking for a minute, I guess I've always been bored with it. So I guess the answer should be "YES"--and I always was.

    Which is exactly why I only go to Facebook only once or twice a week... sometimes not at all.

    The question is going on the assumption that I'm not already bored with it. If you mean to ask, if I'm getting bored with it or am already bored with it, then the answer to that is "Yes"

    The people on a person's friend list is what makes it boring or fun. I mostly use facebook to see what's going on with family and friends which makes me a very nosey person, I know. When you don't have a life like me that kind of thing becomes fun.

    But I think it's because I don't have a lot of friends anymore, so I don't get much interaction on there anymore. Plus I don't see the point in posting pictures anymore either.
    I honestly use facebook to lurk the newsfeed. I enjoy seeing how other peoples' lives are going.

    Since Facebook started the timeline, it is so confusing and cluttered that it is rare that I even open my account up. All I will do is share a few posts that others have posted, and then close. It really has become boring.

    I never have been "sold" on FB.....I just get on there to get pictures of my grandchildren and keep up with some high school friends. But, I spend very little time on FB... I am never on there for hours like I am on SH. SH is addicting....in my opinion...FB is not!

    Never was interested in it. My daughter set up an account for me, but I never go there, and each time I try to sign up for something , and it says I have to sign in to facebook to do it, I just get more disgusted with it. I will not sign up for anything that tells me I have to do that. People acts like that site is their God, and it gets a little sickening.

    honestly, it's a social networking site. the only reason why a person would get bored of a place to communicate with peers and friends is if they only used facebook for entertainment purposes, such as video gaming. if your friends are still using facebook, why would you stop using it, and be bored of it?

    No. Estoy entretenido usando esta red para compartir con mis contactos todo tipo de artículos, vídeos, pensamientos amén de fotografías que nos acercan a la gente. Lo utilizo para dar. Si espero recibir, quizá me frustre.

    The article states that people don't purchase on facebook or so they say, but my stats and my bottom line states otherwise.

    Sales: $13,089.08 This is for May 31 to June 6 2012. I wish I could give you more info but then liberals would know who I was and try to share my hard work.
