I don't think social networking is a passing fad, but it would not surprise me if something new comes along and does to facebook what facebook did to - pmb May 15, 07:37 24

- agreed. remember when myspace was ubiquitous. It can happen to FB. -- nm - Mel Profit May 15, 07:38 22
  - i think it will take a while and i think it will take a jump in technology, but i think, yes, someday it will be outdated. - Andie May 15, 07:40 21
    - The thing is...Myspace never saw FB coming. - Mel Profit May 15, 07:44 18
      - i don't play the games anymore (i only ever scrabbled) but Facebook was just cleaner and nicer looking to me. i never really 'got' myspace. -- nm - Andie May 15, 07:48 3
        
        MySpace was always futt bugly. That made it unapproachable. - Beryllium May 15, 07:50 2
        
        To you... - Mel Profit May 15, 07:53 1
        
        Yes, MySpace was full of self-involved teens with a fast and loose grasp of style and aesthetic. -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 08:00
      - I'm so in love with Tumblr right now, I want to kick FB to the curb -- nm - Epiphany May 15, 07:45 13
        
        This is again where I feel old. My daughter loves Tumblr and I don't even really get what it is. -- nm - pmb May 15, 07:47 12
        
        one of the greatest things is the format - the new stuff is on the top - ALWAYS, I don't have to reset it. I don't have to worry that it's being filte - Epiphany May 15, 08:11 4
        
        I've learned to accept that FB is only going to show me what it thinks I should see. - Mel Profit May 15, 08:13 3
        
        yes that infuriates me - I missed that my 1st boyfriend had a stroke - I was pissed. unforgiveable in my book -- nm - Epiphany May 15, 08:22 2
        
        I could see this being a big issue. - Mel Profit May 15, 08:26 1
        
        I totally agree - it takes a smarter/younger person than me to figure out the in/outs to make FB run like I want it to -- nm - Epiphany May 15, 08:48
        
        It always struck me as just a blog platform -- nm - oblique May 15, 07:49 5
        
        The emphasis on media and reblogging takes it up a notch from the traditional blog -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 07:52 4
        
        "Reblogging." Is that like retweeting? -- nm - con_carne May 15, 07:53 3
        
        Yes. -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 08:01 2
        
        but somehow less obnoxious. If they have ads, I haven't noticed any -- nm - Epiphany May 15, 08:12 1
        
        What I like is their implementation of the "MT" concept (modified tweet) - Beryllium May 15, 08:15
        
        It's like a more social version of blogger/blogspot/wordpress -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 07:48
    - I absolutely agree. I think the tech will need to be mature by a bit. - Mel Profit May 15, 07:42 1
      - and I misread your post. -- nm - Mel Profit May 15, 07:43
