Is Facebook fading?

There are interesting times indeed for the social network that has taken the world by storm and forging out of the stone a new way to socialise.

When Facebook first emerged, its counterpart and competition MySpace; stood no chance to weather the success heralded by the Mark Zuckerberg led initiative.

However fast forward many a year and ladies and gentleman what we are seeing is perhaps the beginning of a fall, of a very quiet demise of Facebook.

Why? I hear you ask?

Once upon a time it was cool to go to a lecture, and Facebook through the entity of it, and to go on each night, this does not happen so much nowadays,  but it seems a little bit of the novelty has worn off on the consumers the same way that Krispy Kreme is just another doughnut store.  

Maybe now that the lecturers are now casually dropping them into the conversations, it’s become unfashionable? It’s a possibility

I talk to my friends and they all come up with the same thing; Facebook is getting boring, it is tedious and just plain annoying with the constant changes made.

And what about those changes?

 I understand that they are made to keep on step ahead of the technological hunt all trying to get a peek into Face book’s hundreds of millions of users.

But really, when every few weeks do we really want to start adjusting to the changes? It’s bloody annoying, not innovative and has about the same appeal as Liza Minnelli in Sex and the City 2.

Does this decline in use and adoration of the social network have something to do with the fact that, really it is more self-indulgent than aiding humanity?

Take Twitter for example, it united Egypt and deposed their President as well as also being the link in the chain that saw other protests and dissent become revolutionary, so much so that countries have had to place blackouts during the revolutions to try and stop the momentum?

I’m not saying that this is the end of Facebook, because that is about as qualified as saying that in 2012 the world will end however, it is a point to be made that there is a salt of change in the air and people’s attitudes as a consequence are seeing Facebook in a different way than an addiction or a need and not a desire.

Thoughts?
