There is a group on Facebook hates its shady privacy settings so much they vowed to quit Facebook entirely for good today. The result could be devastating to FB.
However, the truth is, there were never really this many FB members to begin with. Many FB members has several FB accounts. They are being used as game support as most game on FB requires game player to have their friends invited to play together in order to advance in the game. This prompted many game players to open several accounts for themselves and invite themselves in their games. I know one of my FB friends has over 80 FB accounts just for gaming. I am sure FB’s own admin knows this fact well but no one really care to admit this openly. Much like the money borrowing real world of finance.
I find it difficult to quit a real FB account entirely after invested so much time in building up a network of new friends. It is true that many FB members don’t take many unknown new friends if any at all but unless one has been complete shut out from anyone else on FB it would be difficult to quit without any remorse. Yet it is quite easly done to quit any or all of those fake accounts which were made up for games. If everyone were to quit only half of their fake accounts, I estimate there could be at least 1/4 of all FB accounts gone. This could in effect put FB behind Twitter in this Social Networking business.
Due to the nature of the network, most Twitter members don’t have several Twitter accounts. If they did, they are for different groups of network and therefore genuinely being used to some extend so they could not have been easily closed by anyone.
This FB fact is like a giant financial bubble that is about to be burst anytime. Fortunately for us, the bubble does to affect our finance much except maybe those FB investors.
I am sorry, Li, I am afraid you would have to take this one yourself….
Ok, well… I don’t really feel sorry him actually. It’s about time.
WhaUSay?!
