Your examples aside from chat apps are quite unrealistic. I don't even know when was the last time I invited someone to an event using any of the listed methods, it must have been years.
But even if running into friends at the store was a thing, it doesn't mean that Facebook is not used by a billion people for organising social events and is therefore beneficial to them.
- arcticfox 10y agoWild, I just got invited to join a group for coffee over SMS. And before that, to meet with a technical group on MeetUp. And before that to meet up with my friends on GroupMe.
- DominikR 10y agoSee my above comment to hellbanner. Aside from that MeetUp and GroupMe are social networks too. Yes, they are different but I didn't say that Facebook is the end all perfect implementation of a social network. I just refuse anyone telling me that Facebook isn't beneficial without very good proof, because it is to me and to my social circle.
- hellbanner 10y agoHuman population of this planet is over 7 billion. I referred to non-facebook users Unrealistic for you and the other billion facebook users perhaps, yes. Different people use different methods of communicating.
- DominikR 10y agoWell even if 6 billion use emails, it is no proof that Facebook is not beneficial to the others. It is at least to me and to the parent.
- nostrademons 10y agoPretty much all my invites go out over e-mail. Some of my Googler friends use Google+, but even that gets received via e-mail. Almost all my friends are on Facebook, but about half don't check it with any regularity, so sending an invite via Facebook means a good chance that they won't get it until after the event.
