>changing how we communicate... Perhaps, though I'm not convinced it was for the better. every time I log into Facebook I log off within five minutes wondering why I continue to waste my time with it. Maybe that's just my problem, I don't know.

This is highly dependent on your circle of friends. It's much more enjoyable when you're following people who are doing interesting things An RSS reader wouldn't be compelling if you're just subscribed to Buzzfeed, after all.

  Well, you're probably not wrong. 99% of my ~400 "friends" are people I knew in high school who I haven't seen in 15 years. I keep in contact with my actual friends, but not via FB.

    Unsubscribe from their feeds. Unsubscribing, I've basically ignored most of my facebook friends. It's great.

      I'm defrending, trying to get to < 100. 50 would be perfect :) Guess your idea is better, but it's actually kind of fun to de-friend ppl. You should try ;)

      So then what's the point? Since I deleted my account my relationships with my real friends and family has definitely improved. When I see them in person we actually have things to catch up on and talk about and those in person interactions have much more value for me.

Definitely not my problem at least. Facebook is an integral part of my life.

  > I personally use facebook to talk to my friends. Maybe you should try it out to communicate wit yours? so in your logic, because somebody don't use facebook, he/she does not communicate with his/her friends? wow

    I said I use it to communicate with my friends. Never said it was my sole method of communication. Thanks, genius.
