Is Facebook heading for a fall?
There’s no doubt about it, Facebook has become part of the fabric of many user’s lives. Thomas Crampton writes “How Facebook Ended My Marriage” and illustrates how powerful the social networking tool has become in the lives of those who use it regularly.
With that said, the young adults who live with me and depend upon me for support, they are increasingly UNHAPPY with the changes happening at Facebook. (They express this displeasure by uttering comments such as “Facebook is GAY!”) Their displeasure lies with the viral applications which at first were so successful in proliferating throughout the site. As the requests come in from friends, asking them to install new viral applications… my avid Facebook users are just saying “no more”!
However, the rumblings at my house aren’t limited to the viral applications on Facebook, but rather the”spammy” connections made by bumbling marketing wannabes.
Social Networking sites are GREAT for making and maintaining connections… however, participation and communication are the key elements involved in a successful leverage of social networking sites.
