Totally disagree. I'm in college right now and Facebook+Instagram are still the social networks of choice. If anything Facebook has only lost it's novelty because it's assumed everyone has one.
The only thing that sucks up more of my time is Hacker News :)
- ianstormtaylor 14y agoAlso totally disagree. Sounds like the average Hacker News comment that has no bearing on real users. I keep up with all of my college friends (recently left), high school friends, and almost all new San Francisco friends through Facebook. - I get its messages delivered to my phone. - Most every party I go to has a Facebook event associated with it. - Pretty much every picture taken with my friends goes to it (or Instagram). I'd say that's pretty normal for most people I interact with.
- jamesjguthrie 14y agoSame here, still at university and Facebook takes up far too much of my time. I and my classmates are on it before, during and after class.
- lmm 14y ago> If anything Facebook has only lost it's novelty because it's assumed everyone has one. Sometimes I think every social network is doomed to die in a certain number of years. Facebook simply isn't cool any more because everybody's on it now, which mean's it's ripe for disruption by a network of cool people.
- robinh 14y agoI feel inclined to agree. The same thing happened to MySpace, and (in the Netherlands) to Hyves. I'm sure there are more examples.
- jimbokun 14y agoMaybe the Hacker News take on Facebook is similar to the Yogi Berra quote on Ruggeri's restaurant: "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."
