The Facebook news feed is dead to anyone but trolls, at least in my anecdotal experience.
Facebook is only useful for its yellow pages function. Unfortunately that alone is enough to keep my social circle on Facebook. It’s just really hard to break away, because social circles consists of people with different social circles, and not everyone is going to replace Facebook with the samething, and then everyone is still on Facebook.
Maybe e-mail could be the core of the next generation yellow pages? It’s the only thing everyone has.
- kthejoker2 8y agoExcuse me, do you mean white pages? I don't use Facebook for finding businesses.
- jaabe 8y agoI guess I do, in Denmark they came in the same book called the yellow pages (de gule sider). I guess that was because we’re a tiny nation, but now that you mention it the “people” pages were indeed white.
- chongli 8y agoEmail was killed by spam (and lack of ease of use) long ago. Now it's mostly used by business.
- nradov 8y agoMy Facebook news feed is fine. I actively unfollow (hide all from) almost all shared third-party content (including news) so that I mostly only see original content from my friends and family.
- jaabe 8y agoI don’t follow anything that isn’t people I know and meet at least semi-regularly in the real world. I’ve actively unfollowed a few of them (shhh), but my feed can go a few days with no updates from the 90 people I’m down to. But of course that’s my anecdotal view. I just never saw the point in following a company or a news paper on a social media.
- nradov 8y agoThe issue is that sometimes friends will share posts from third-party pages, and then those sometimes show up in your feed. You have to manually hide all from each source in order to prevent that.
