People are still logging in everyday. Maybe not you, but I know plenty of people who belong to groups that log in everyday to see what the group is up to. As long as they can monetize that, it will always be around.
People with children will log on for many many more years to upload pictures of their children to share with their parents. Those parents aren't going to move to another social network. In their eyes Facebook works great why sign up for a Twitter account, and Instagram account, and a Vine account etc.
- r00fus 13y agoAre they monetizing it adequately, though. FB being decimated by 2017 is ridiculous. However, it could be sidelined as Zuck and crowd can't find a way to make increasing dollars out of their userbase without driving them off.
- dragonwriter 13y ago> FB being decimated by 2017 is ridiculous. Not really, but FB losing 80% of its users by then -- which is 8 times greater reduction than decimation would be -- is.
- blisterpeanuts 13y agoDoesn't "decimation" mean FB would be left with only 10% of its present user base? 90% versus 80%, not that big a difference, really. In any event, I don't believe it will happen; there's no credible alternative on the horizon, at least not yet. Google Plus doesn't seem to be taking over, and who else is there?

- blisterpeanuts 13y agoTrue, but I think most people would interpret the word today as "destroy a large number of" (as per Merriam-Webster).
