I think Facebook has mostly corrected the app garbage problem. I'm no longer bombarded with invitations to Ninjas vs. Pirates and my news feed is very rarely invaded by Farmville.
I lost most of my interest (although I still use it daily) when they added the news feed. It took away the importance of profiles and took away the fun of "stalking". It used to be a regular problem that people would spend too much time poring over profiles. Now I hardly ever get past the first 20 posts on my news feed. Maybe I just grew up. Of course the news feed is what turned Facebook into what it is today.
- smokinn 15y agoIt's definitely an age thing. I've been through both your and the GP's situations since I've graduated university and thought that Facebook jumped the shark... Until I talked to both of my younger brothers that still use facebook the same way I did when I was in university. So facebook definitely has a narrow age range appeal but it hasn't gotten better or worse.. It's just that people outgrow it while others grow into it.
- enjo 15y agoMy experience is so very different. I'm 31 years old and my life is managed by Facebook. When my someone in my social circle wants to host an event? Facebook. When someone needs help with something? Facebook. When someone wants to show me something? Facebook. When my sister wants to brag about my nephew? Facebook. It's the most important tool in my digital life and it's not even close (sorry gmail:>). I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm simply raising a counterpoint.
