I don't need to think "Is my cousins boyfriend on Facebook?" you just know they are.
Without that assurance, you'll end up with two invites for a function, and that is more work for little gain.
- pmoriarty 7y ago"People use Facebook because _everyone_ is on facebook." There was a time when everyone was not on Facebook. Every social network with a critical mass now started without one. Back around when Facebook started, MySpace was massive. Now it's extinct.
- MadWombat 7y agoExactly. But all this tells you is that there was some added value that Facebook brought that made people sign up even when it didn't have critical mass. Currently, the only network I know of that might be in the right place to compete with Facebook is Instagram. Which is basically the same, but with more pictures of food.
