Facebook - Time To Die?

<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.... -

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> -
<p>Facebook had it right a couple of years ago where, if one of your friends was sharing rubbish inspirational posters and the like, you could go to their profile, hover over your relationship with them (Friends) and you could use the drop down list to tick and untick what you wanted to see from them. Ie. You could choose to see status updates and photos, but not shares, likes and other such things. Shame they canned that. I've also noticed they've lremoved the ability to search through your friends posts year by year month by month. If you want to see something from December 2014 (don't ask why you would...), you just have to keep going to the bottom of the page until all their posts between now and then appear. Whereas, you used to be able to choose a year and a month if you were looking for something specific.</p>

<p>They've stuffed the feed by having it default to Top Stories instead of most recent, and telling me that people commented on someone I don't know's post. How many times do I have to hide the post for Facebook to understand I don't give a fuck?</p>
-
<p>I thought it was supposed to be more intuitive, based around your likes, searches, feedback on ads you didnt want to see etc...certainly doesnt appear the case.</p>
-
I fucking hate "Top Stories". What a shit feature.<br><br><br><blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="antipodean" data-cid="552915" data-time="1452984635"><p>They've stuffed the feed by having it default to Top Stories instead of most recent, and telling me that people commented on someone I don't know's post.

Similarly, Twitter throws something into your feed occasionally. You dismiss it, and it asks if you want to. Say YES.<br><br>
Then it asks if you liked it. Say NO. <br><br>
Two days later, similar bullshit occurs. -
I'm currently trying to convince myself that even bent, friend requesting the girl noted above is a bad idea

<p>Looks like the timeline search is back on the full version. Huzzah.</p> -
<p>FB is just a platform to moan and bitch for a decent chunk of users! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So many ill-informed posts about TPPA, and closer to home the Govt has pledged money to a bunch of stuff for Northland, and still the people bitch and moan.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So many simply have no idea how the real world works...I've already done a cull of pages and people I follow! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But on the flipside, there is also some great stuff on there too, shame the fucktards of the world ruin it for the rest of us.</p> -
<p>bro I've got your posts on high alert, an e-mail, alarm goes off on my phone, a reminder every minute there after, missing seeing what you have for breakfast is not an option! </p>
