Har tröttnat rejält på Facebook på sista tiden och orkar inte lägga någon energi där längre som i början när det var nytt och spännande. Fick syn på den här artikeln härom dagen:

Why Facebook isn't cool anymore
Have you noticed something different lately? People aren't updating their Facebook statuses as much as they used to. Our home feeds are now just filled with updates from the hardcore fans that still use Facebook on a daily basis as well as the businesses who we 'like' and are trying to engage with us.
Over the past eighteen months, Facebook has become less of a daily ritual. We've clearly fallen out of love with Facebook but why? There's a number of reasons... privacy being the main complaint but mainly it's because Facebook isn't cool anymore.
What was once a 'cool' idea is now just a burden on our lives. No one wants to be friends with old school mates on the internet because those old school mates weren't particularly nice people in the first place. (Sååå sant) And no one wants to feel inadequate when everyone else always seems to be having a much better time. And no one wants to see a certain person doing amazingly well with their Farmville game.(eller jävla Candy crush) Plus what about our privacy? Do we really want our lives splashed everywhere on the net? No, we don't.
People are all Facebooked out. They've had enough. It's become uncool and almost a bit sad to admit that we're still on there. But ask anyone why they've still got a Facebook account and they always say the same things like 'because everyone's on it' or 'my life is so busy, it's a great way to keep up with everyone and stay connected'. (Jag använder alltid dessa ursäkter)
But does it really do that? Keep everyone connected? No, it doesn't. Because what actually keeps connections is picking up the old phone and speaking to people, arranging to meet in person. (Som riktiga vänner)
Facebook isn't cool anymore because it lacks privacy and people have wised up. It's too big and it's becoming a nuisance rather than a helpful addition to our lives.
And just because 'everyone's on it' and our lives are busy, it doesn't mean Facebook will stick around forever. It just means that a niche in the market is opening up for something else and that one day, something bigger and better will come along and take over. And Facebook will become like MySpace. It's inevitable because it always follows the same pattern - something cool starts out, it gains following and momentum and then it gets too popular and too big, thus losing its 'coolness'. And when something isn't cool anymore, it could signal that it's on its way out.
Facebook has had its peak period. Now it's not cool, could this be the beginning of the end for Facebook? What do you think? Will Facebook still be around in 10 years time? (Tror att många har gått ur för att de insett att livet är till för att levas och inte för att dokumentera varenda eviga sekund )
Tumblr, instagram och Twitter nästa?
Eller ska alla bara kanske hålla sig till en blogg som folk väljer att gå in på när de vill läsa om en specifiks persons liv?
