Facebook is now of a monster of a "social networking" site. It is not even a "social networking" site anymore because it has turned into more of an advertising and propaganda site. It looks like it seems like it is used more for marketing of major businesses to sell their products and for politicians to shove their propaganda than for the purpose for the social networking site. This might represent the change of the internet - we are starting to enter the old internet of the 1990s where it was based on E biz and information than socialization. I think people are going back to actual face to face socialization.
Facebook is a great site for business, but I had a big fan of it for the social networking purposes. Now it is like MTV or the weather channel - it barely shows music videos or weather, it is just propaganda and advertising.
Facebook is starting to revert to the MySpace for the 1990s - a place for business than a place for friend. Facebook is eventually going to turn into a site where you can advertise your business and use it for employment references; the social portion of the site is starting to dwindle.
The social networking experiment is starting to become so 2000s. The experiment has failed and I have a feeling people are going back to their roots of talking face to face. The 1990s purpose of the internet and computers are starting to come back.
YouTube is changing as well - it is starting to age and become more for older people to listen to music than for these "teen angst" bloggers like me. It looks like the structure of the internet is changing; computers in general and we are starting to go back to their original purpose of the internet.
I haven't really been exposed to the old internet but I think it might be time for me to grow up. Computer users are starting to age and we might be going back to the old internet, especially during recessionary times.
A lot of businesses are hard up and they are starting to use the internet to sell. I don't see any more social networking on Facebook. I think the users of Facebook are aging and they want more business networking than social networking.
