I've been citing relevant information on my "Wall" -- trying not to overwhelm friends, but to bring notice to each new, substantial development. At most 1 in 10 of my friends has expressed any interest. (Even given a fairly small set of friends I actually know, as opposed to some semi-random monkey pile (people just piling on to a group, e.g. teammates after a goal in soccer)). I think that, in part, this is due to people turning to Facebook for fun and socialization. They aren't going there for news and problems, and they have little or no desire to look at these when they appear in that context. On the other hand, any ongoing or potential decrease in participation will likely be as silent. I don't think the current silence means FB is off the hook. Already, a significant fraction of my friends have become substantially less active on FB, whatever their reasons.
