Comments on: The demise of Facebook http://www.mrdaz.com/the-demise-of-facebook/ So much anger, so little time Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:46:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: IGnatius T Foobar http://www.mrdaz.com/the-demise-of-facebook/comment-page-1/#comment-11777 IGnatius T Foobar Mon, 23 Mar 2009 14:43:38 +0000 http://www.mrdaz.com/the-demise-of-facebook/#comment-11777 Facebook is heading for its imminent demise. I think you might be missing the real reason why, though. Facebook does everything it can to force itself to be at the forefront of your attention all the time. In order to use Facebook you have to totally immerse yourself in it. It's a walled garden with a tractor beam. You can't browse the site without joining. You can't check out most members without 'friending' them, which then exposes you to all of the rabble on their friends list. In short, you can't just quickly check out people or content on Facebook -- you have to make Facebook your entire life. F**k that! I hated high school the first time and I don't want to do it again.
