Are you bored of Facebook?
The UK has been recently signalling a sharp drop in interest for social app Facebook. UK users have been using it less often as many people witnessed their interest dropping sharply once they have added all their friends and interacted with them for 4-6 months.
Not an official study but a feeling widespread, evident if you talk to people about Facebook.
The news that personal Facebook user data was to be used by advertisers did not come lightly to Europeans. Our US counterparts might be less concerned, indeed used to shared their personal data with the state.
Unless something changes rapidly, recent PR blows for Facebook, it’s lack of adaptability for the UK (which is a key market) and lack of further innovation might stop it in it’s tracks.
Do you think that Mark Zuckerberg can come up with more great ideas?
Very interesting topic, nevertheless the same happened with many social media platforms. I have lost interest in Facebook as well, too many applications - it has become a timewaster rather than anything else.
I believe it needs a theme, a specific character or orientation which will unify its users. If Facebook manages to create a massively applied need then it will survive extinction.
