I don't think they're joking. There are a lot of people, whole countries of them, for whom Facebook is literally the whole of the Internet.
- mirimir 8y agoOK, so I don't use Facebook. But can one search the Internet via Facebook? Or wait, are you saying that they don't realize that there's anything except Facebook? And yes, I can vaguely remember when all I knew was CompuServe and Econet. And AOL, which only idiots used ;)
- joshuamorton 8y agoHe's likely referring to this: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/internet-org/ https://developers.facebook.com/docs/internet-org/ I can't remember if this was discontinued or not, but there's been varying levels of outcry about it. (Disclosure: I work at Google)
- samsonradu 8y ago> Or wait, are you saying that they don't realize that there's anything except Facebook? Something like that. Maybe they realise but they don't care. Want to read the news? You check out CNN's Facebook page for latest posts. Want to sell something? Use the marketplace. For whatever website most of them would like to visit for information there is a Facebook page available.
