for most people facebook is the internet
 

i have chatted to a lot of people and found these days the internet is facebook.

they do not seem to use any other site.

in fact many do not seem to have email.

everything regarding the net is facebook. online or as an apt.

sometimes when im on facebook, ill think christ this is awful, and ill click facebook home or just type facebook.com in, very strange!

i do not even like facebook.

i find it odd to see girls who i used to go to school who were never a nerd like me, spend ALL day on facebook posting all about there day then playing online facebook games.

you have chatted with a lot of people, conclusion: for most people facebook is the internet?

logical awesome!

I tried to use Facebook and found it so boring. Nice to hear from girls I shot years ago but other than that I started to think WTF is it all about. GFY is far more entertaining. LOL

if facebook and google ever merge, that would pretty much be the entire internet to the majority of the sheeple.

I should part ways with those people...

Yes kind a unusual how facebook have effect on people who are not really tech people.

Last week, the social networking web site pulled in 7.7% of the US internet market, compared to Google’s 7.03 percent.

i really need to step up my facebook marketing game. focusing on adult leaves one out of the loop or greater internet trends and traffic.

a few years ago people would talk about serfing the web.

now all people talk about is facebook.

hard to think how facebook could be topped!

facebook are for people how never grow up and places where people can stole hot girls photos.

If this is what you think then you don't know shit.

:glugglug

I don´t even have a facebook anymore.... too much exposition in there.

I was playing Call of Duty on Xbox live... I asked asked them some questions. I was forced to conclude that Call of Duty 4 is the internet.

what is facebook?

It will be though, most likely by an idea that comes about completely by accident.

I would agree with you on any other site at any other time but it's going to take something major to topple FaceBook and I don't see it happening anytime soon. They've integrated their login into thousands of websites online, that feature alone is nearly impossible to top.

I find it ok for family & friends connections. Its always nice for family to enjoy somewhere clean & enjoyable to show pics, leave messages & greetings.

My children use facebook, so Ive kept it clean for them :thumbsup

Don't use it.

Will never use it.


I've said on here lots of times before. The internet isn't half as much fun now since all everyone does it post shit on Facebook all damn day. Nobody makes anything interesting anymore.


I hope Facebook dies of AIDS !!

Don't hate on facebook, embrace it. It's traffic numbers are insane whether or not you use it for personal or business reasons.

Think outside of the box and there is a shit load of money to made using it. If you think I'm wrong? It's fine by me. Point is? It's money, and still many untapped resources on there. :2 cents:

Trust me i get the whole money to be made, and insane traffic numbers.

I'm speaking from a general point of view, and i just don't really see the point in it. Infact i'll change that, i just don't get how people can spend all day on it. Getting in touch with people is one thing, spending all day everyday on there is another. For me, people have turned Facebook into Twitter. Posting what they are doing now, what they are gonna do next, what they bought, what they are thinking of buying. I just don't see the need for this, or why other people are so interested in reading about it.


Like i say, the internet used to be about so much more. Now, it's like nothing else matters since everyone is doing the same damn thing. Just find it all really boring, attention seeking, and pointless to be honest...

Just this past month an old friend sent me a link to their new business, I was invited to a halloween party from a distance friend with an RSVP option, a local band reminded me of a show their doing, pictures of my nephew dressed up for Halloween were posted, I found out a friend got engaged, read that one friend who was in the hospital is doing OK and watched a video of another friends wedding.

If you don't like FaceBook then you are doing it wrong.

Sounds like life in general. The internet has been "dumbed down" so that the masses can participate, where as many years ago... only the "nerds" knew how to even get on line and navigate around.

As the beginning of the online porn industry started, "you" were smart and the masses were "dumb". This made a boat load of money for all involved. It's the same game with different rules.

These "noobs" only know Facebook... hmm....

And you wouldn't have known they got engaged without Facebook?

And again, if you didn't have Facebook, you would have had NO idea how someone you care about in hospital was doing?



What the hell did we do before Facebook i wonder... :Oh crap

Not really, I do not use Facebook to "keep in touch". In fact, I have no personal Facebook at all. I have no need for one.

I could give 2 shits about what that buddy in high school is doing these days, nor could he give 2 fucks what I am doing. Should I add him as a frind to just pretend?

Fuck that shit... I have been out of school for quite a few years now. We have our own lives. That old band? Who fucking cares. I have a closet full of late 90's CDs I could listen to at any time and reminisce.

My nephews and nieces? I have my sister's email address and she emails them to me... and oh yeah, that invention called the telephone works quite nicely... even better than the internet.

I could see kids that left school like 5 years or less ago liking it, but for us 30+ people? It's just plain gay. You can not relive your child hood days no matter how hard you try. Grow up...

or use it for business purposes! :winkwink: I'm a 22 year old blonde babe from Anaheim :1orglaugh

I have shit to do. I can go on Facebook and talk to pretty much everyone I know in 2 minutes total. Otherwise I can sit here flinging emails and phone calls all fucking day because I'm some old school dipshit that can't comprehend why anyone would want to do it in a superior way. Facebook has given me extra hours per day of time to work, I love it.

Pretty much what I was going to say, but he isn't the brightest bulb on the tree.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I dont doubt it, im actually quite excited to see what the next big thing will be, but its incredibly hard to imagine what it could be at this stage

Facebook is used by teens WORLDWIDE to communicate. Millions of them (billions?). Not just by computer - through their cellphones, iphones, blackberries as well while they're out and about, in class, etc. Constantly. 24/7. Teens probably spend more time communicating through Facebook than they do in person, or even on the phone.

No one expects this to apply to an 80 year old pornographer...

Exactly man.

When they open the browser, they open facebook by default. People don't enter forums or msn anymore.

In fact, they use the faceboook private message over the email.

FACEBOOK is the internet for most people. They also scare going somewhere else when they see the message: "WARNING: You are going out of a secure area of facebook".

That's why most forums lost a lot of traffic, people use facebook and other people use twitter, nothing else.

The GREAT web became extremely minimalistic. INVOLUTION, that's for sure.
.

It's no different than what AOL used to be, except you can actually go other places.

Most people have no use for the internet. The internet has information. Most people are content to be ignorant.

If they get more input they might have to make decisions, and that scares the shit out of them. They can't even figure out what they want from KFC much less what they want from life.

Its a disease for some people. But good way to monetize.

Makes me wonder what would happen if Facebook shut down tonight at midnight. What would all the people that seem to be constantly on there do instead and how would they react? Similarly, i'm sure there are a huge % of internet users now who only search with Google and don't even know other search sites exist - if Google was switched off they would be fucked.

So, you REPPED me negative because of my opinion ABOVE?

What is your problem?

Actually, you are wrong, MOST forums lost traffic and you can see this from most stat services, PERIOD.

.

I just neg repped you for asking him why he neg repped you

yes anywhere i go everyone says facebook, i am not on facebook, only with my one fake nick to check some photos out once per long period, but people are like crazy, facebook facebook facebook you loser you dont have facebook and daily spamming me with go to facebook links ... i hear like friends are browsing that unlimited library and once per some time they find interesting photo or some person, oh ... my friends, idiots ... :2 cents:

There is something impossible about this image. It is much sharper than what can be seen in real life. Real life is more blurred.

you all know the drill.


Adapt . . . or . . . DIE.

these are computer iliterate people who would never buy anything anyways. however, there is always the chance they'll look for something else sooner or later and thats good news for everyone. the more people using the net, the better i guess.

that's a pretty broad brush to paint millions of people with.

You're right. My daughter uses her Blackberry and Facebook to organize and co-ordinate her college projects and assignments.

As phones get smarter, though, Facebook is going to become less and less relevant. To the point where it'll become an unnecessary inconvenience. Then all that will be left at Facebook is a bunch of people you don't want to talk to, Farmville, and annoying relatives who will still phone you every Sunday.

Facebook is a middleman - and no matter how big they get, middlemen are always expendable.

I'm surprised Facebook hasn't yet thought of a way to add Auctions to the site. They could really take a big chunk of market from eBay if they did so.

The computer illiterates have always converted better than regular traffic you dolt. Why do you think internal AOL spammers were so fucking expensive?

How are you in business online without knowing this? :1orglaugh

That's ridiculous sir. They are middlemen for everything people want to do online, everything. Nobody wants to deal with 4000 services when it's under one login and one roof.
