It depends on your definition of "power users", I suppose.
But they certainly don't want to shrink their network. The moment I meet a fellow like-minded geek and "add me on Facebook" isn't the default way to stay in touch, they're in trouble.
And I'm already at the point where I have to ask if they're on Facebook first, since many tech people have already jumped ship due to privacy concerns.
- bertiewhykovich 10y agoWhy does Facebook care about specifically geek usage behaviors? Geeky types constitute a small fraction of the population, only a subset of that already small cohort has the concerns you're expressing here, and only a subset of those care enough to stop using their services. If Facebook can increase add revenues 10% by a change like this, they couldn't care less about losing the maybe 2% of users who will be genuinely put off from them by it.
