Reasons Why Facebook Will Lose it's Users.
It has been all down hill since Facebook as implemented the observation of user's searches and activity to direct advertisements. The amount of users has gone down in recent years. This create the problem of when all of a user's friends stop posting, so will they. Also most people have been using it so long, that more of the friend suggestions are people that you have never heard of. Aside from the site becoming "old", there is no way to become private. Anyone can simple search you name and find you with ease. The option to become private is available, but Facebook is clever for hiding it just enough that it become to much of an hassle. And now that Facebook has bought out Whatsapp, it will get even worse. They will have a chatting service that creates a phone over the internet. They claim that they will not monitor the chatting, but how long will it take to find out that they are. When people first found out that Facebook was monitoring their activity it was a shock. Just wait until they watch your whole life.

Whatsapp might actually be appealing to the young audience that Facebook is hosting now. Kids who aren't old enough to have their own cell phones will probably love this new messaging service. I agree, however, that for serious Facebook users, the thrill is gone. Still, these ventures seem like Zuckerberg's desperate attempts to try to save the sinking Facebook vessel.
ReplyDeleteDefiantly agree with the horrible "suggested friends" comment. I think Facebook really will just become an app producer now but it will be an easier transition because connecting through Facebook, or a common company, means they can translate your friends into every app they create -- chat, events, pictures, etc.
ReplyDeleteI did not even know there was an option to make your Facebook private, or at least I don't know how to do it. I also found it very confusing when trying to adjust even just my privacy settings on the newer version of Facebook. It makes sense that they would make the process of privacy difficult to benefit the company more than the users.
