In the beginning (circa 2003-2005 when I was in college) it was a tool for only your peers. Granted at the time it was little more than a directory and event management tool. But it served a useful purpose back then. In my opinion the jumping-the-shark moment was either when it was opened to the world or when "Apps" were introduced.
- pseut 13y agoIMO it started to degrade pretty quickly once the 2003-2005 cohort started to have babies. That pushed extended family, etc. to join to see baby pictures, etc. But I agree somewhat about the apps too, especially the way the games were introduced (when I think about how much I know about some of my friends' mafia wars habits vs. how much I care...) This all happened at about the same time, though, and it all fits under the umbrella of the (sensible, from FB's standpoint) strategy of "grow as large as possible."
