I totally agree. However, it has its own flaws, maybe exactly because it’s the best feed aggregator.

facebook is the best feed aggregator ever. You like the pages of companies and products you are interested in and follow the people who are interesting to you. Normally in IT where influential people have blogs you can do this with RSS but facebook is still better because it aggregates information from all your contacts many of which are not technical. For example you cannot subscribe to an RSS feed that tells you when someone got married.

I don’t get it. Why one cannot post pictures and posts in his own blog???

Do we really need Facebook for that?

I remember, in the past, to be able to publish your thoughts, photos and interesting links, one needed only a personal blog. And we still have personal blogs in 2013. There’s also Twitter where we can share quick links and wise short thoughts (under 140-characters in length).

So, really… do we need Facebook? How come we were living without FB in the past? I think we were fine without Facebook, and we had more free time — free time to think, read, or even write…

I think one day people will realize they don’t need Facebook. It will be a great day. And then POUF! Facebook will be gone in 60 seconds… all along with its stupid censorship rules and virtual farming games and “share this image to find 20 amazing friends in under 13 days”… 🙂

@Doncho: As someone who was using FB for so long… What is so amazing about FB so that people use it so much? Also, I’d be interested to hear your thoughts in a few weeks or months from now… how is life without FB. 🙂

Facebook is a badly designed system with one goal: to keep people within Facebook. And to gather all people’s private data. 🙂

I like Twitter because it is focused and easy to use. I didn’t yet try G+.

But, here’s a quick fact: It is 2013 and I never used Facebook in my life (OK, I have to admit, I once used FB for half an hour… and then signed-out and left it; I simply didn’t like what I saw!). So, I don’t use Facebook and I am alive and kicking! This means, one can easily live without FB!

For me, Twitter, e-mail, and my personal blog, are enough…

Stil, that has nothing to do with being private, public etc.
My problem came from the fact that it was banned. Anyone could/should report stuff, which they think is offending.
It’s up to us to agree or disagree with that, or with the follow-up actions.
If one day I continue with Facebook, I won’t change my sole rule: always post Public, unless something Friends-only specific.

This reminds me why I only post to friends 🙂

Надя, само след три дни на никой няма да липсват, гарантирам ти 🙂

Facebook has no real competitors.
Twitter is very different, G+ is very unpopulated. Thus being outside Facebook have lots of negatives, but also lots of positives as well :).
I’ll like to keep in touch with you, either via Twitter or G+..
