Facebook is slowly eating the rest of the Internet... of course that depends on your use of the internet.
I have a profile but it's been closed for years.
For me the internet are forums that provide some technical insight that helps me fix a problem, open source software and a way to buy something without getting out of my chair.
On the plus side, facebook took away from email a lot of non requested emails and that made more straightforward the service, another plus is that suddenly I can get telephone numbers for most stores in case I need to do a call (sometimes small business doesn't have a webpage)
- rokhayakebe 10y agoSome of the reasons Facebook took away from email are UI/UX-based: 1) have you ever wanted to send just a message without a subject line (email forces you to stop and think for 2 seconds, which is not good), 2) you have to remember the person's email address or how it starts (emails are still not great at just entering the person's name), 3) if the person changes email address you have to know the new one or your mail goes undelivered. FB gave these folks email without all the above extra and folders, tags, and all that other non sense.
