I love using facebook I think it is a wonderful platform to get to know your friends and family. But I do think it is dying and it does need help. What do you think?

Just because your network has gone quiet doesn't mean the site is dying I had more than 50 messages left for me yesterday. The fact is personal networks so sometimes become inactive, it is simply a fact of life, it doesn't mean the site is dying.

Facebook is not useful as people think. It is simply a waste of time. We feel like peeping into others' life and people keep updating frequently about their activities which serve no purpose.

@Carmelanirel2 - I agree with you that one could find some useful things even on FB. It is great to hear that you could sell your books on FB.

Some things people post are useless, but not all. I have found a lot of recipes and tips, as well as good videos to make me laugh. Plus I have formed good relationships there and I have sold a few of my books through my author page.

I don't think it's dying. Maybe it's your browser. I use Facebook, too. Most of my author friends are on there, the same as Twitter. Have your Internet issue checked out. It's been working fine for me lately.

I think it is all about the network they are involved with, mine is buzzing right now.

I have a Facebook account but I seldom login it. I have fewer friends there and they are not active, too. Therefore, Facebook is boring for me and I don't like it very much.

I find it very useful. It is a place I can share my author page, plus I have groups where I can find items I need, either for free or for a good price from people in my area. I also have made good friends there, one who calls me every week and is always there for me.

@WendySpickerman You are a writer, right? I have not only some of my favorite authors on Facebook, but a few writing friends and groups. Of course I haven't visited my groups since I started classes again a couple years ago, it would be interesting to see what is going on there now.

I would love to make new friends on FB, but I usually get people who friend me and don't care about cooking, photography, stay fit or fun things with the family.

Isn't there a "retrieve your password| on Facebook? I thought there was, you just add your email address you signed up with.

That is what the "block" button is for, or if you want to keep your friend (like it is a family member posting stuff) then they have a "hide" button which I used almost constantly at the end of the year.

I think Faceebook is good to reconnect with people and an easy way to stay in touch with them without seeing them but I do not use it as much as I use to

It's not dying. It's not moving.I don't use facebook a lot. I just check for updates among family and friends. Other than that i have no other use. I don't rarely post comments, pictures and whatsoever.

I don't know why you think it is dying, because most of my friends use it every day. I like to use facebook to stay in touch with my friends. It's a great way to communicate and see what everyone is up to.

I use it to connect with my friends and family. I don't mind if it will close down though.

I use facebook too, and it helps me get in touch with my friends. I can say though that it is not healthy to make friends via social media, it's still best to go out in the world and get to know people. But, we can use facebook to get in touch with new people we meet to further establish your friendship with each other. I like myLot better though. Ha ha. Kudos~!
