Facebook - Time To Die?
-
<p>I'm currently using it to see if i can find my fantasy "i really wish i'd pulled you at uni" girl. I have a maybe. And if it is, it's a let down, and a lesson that memories are always 100% better than reality.</p>

I saw the girl I felt like that about at college at a gas station a couple of years ago. She recognised me first , took me a while to figure out who she was. The years had not been kind, she asked me if I was on Facebook , fortunately I was able to avoid an awkward friend request.<br><br>
Also she lives in Levin by choice now. -

<p>LinkedIn blabs that you've been stalking and if results ain't as expected, awkward silences can ensue</p> -

On her or you? <br><br>
Cos we're not friends on FB all I can picture of you is a hard drinking thespian who gave two wonderful performances both ended prematurely by a) Sean Connery and b) a big fucken Shark......<br><br>
Mind you I am friends with Mariner amongst others so perhaps it's best you're not on there after all. -
<p>I'm fucking awesome thank you very much</p>

<p>Balls. I tried to link something I saw of Facebook but the link would just take you fluffybunnies straight into my FB account. So fuck it.</p>

Does it? If it is a clip you can click into the page it originated from, right click to get url, usually works. I did it on a clip in the awesome stuff thread, don't think that goes back to me, have a look.... -

Don't worry mate it's not her -
<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="NTA" data-cid="552376" data-time="1452743249"><p>I'm on Twitter because there is less room for drivel. People are forced to get to the fucking point when there is only 140 characters to play with.<br><br>
Plus there is some funny shit on there.<br><br>
The people I know who are casual users of Twitter kind of don't get why they need "another, smaller facebook" and that's a fair point.</p></blockquote>

Heard a rumour Twitter is experimenting with upping the 140 limit to 10000. How to kill your point of difference in one single step. -

Couple of changes to the app pissing apple users off on terms of timeline order at the moment.<br><br>
I've noticed in droid if I reply from the notifications it puts my handle in there as well as the other people -
Even though that platform seems to be everywhere, Twitter are really struggling to monetise (opposite of Facebook which is making a killing on mobile). <br><br>
So I expect all sorts of weirdness as they try various Hail Marys. Sounds like the new Ceo is more developer friendly, so we might see some good clients again from outside Twitter -
<p>They've got Instagram on one side, who had almost completely sewn up the stills market, THEN introduced video which simultaneously gave competition to operations like Vines as well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Up the other end, FB introducing "Share Now" early last year made their content direction as powerful as google (moreso for video according to some stats).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You'd think a 140 character platform would be the essence (almost literally) of Web 2.0: fast-moving, snippets of information, conveying your message as quickly as possible before the cycle turns around.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Instead they're kind of stodge, while FB decided to have a go at being the everyman social media platform.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now Twitter are more of a linking strategy, and no-one can figure out what to do. If they go to 1000 characters, the news feed will be useless on mobile, and you're a fool if you forget that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't use Insta except when someone links in an image. I got sick of trying to have my fitness app feed twitter feed FB but not the other way and then linking in other shit? Forget it.</p>
