Of course fads will come and go.

Nobody likes the guy that posts too much junk.

All in all, I like that FB exists.


I don't like the people who think they are qualified to be philosophers on life and feel the need to share it on their wall.

I don't really care for FB.

Problem is, more and more sites are using FB as a forum-host. I make forum posts via FB, then check my FB activity-log, poof, posts are gone. It just makes it so easy for commie-websites to ban you or deep-six all/most of your posts, even if they are not inappropriate.

I would think that CD and FB are on the same level of active chat which is why both are my top two websites.

Because for every younger person that leaves FB for something else, 2 older people take his/her place.
