Social media marketing.

I'm not surprised one bit.

Wifey has a Facebook group that is pretty popular, but she spends a ton of time weeding out all the spammers who attempt to join. It's pretty obvious when you go to a new person's page and they belong to thousands of groups that they're just spamming. There are bots you can buy that will create fake personas and go around joining every group they can. I don't even begin to understand the FB business model or why fake people joining groups makes money.

Zuckerberg is the leading philanthropist this year. Considering much of his income may be acquired by less-than-kosher means, he's more like Robin Hood, stealing from FB users and giving to the poor.

Assuming that you own FB stock, wouldn't this "double dipping" on revenues be good? Granted, not the best business practice, but still.

This why I took my 100% profits on facebook and ran. It is being driven up by Wall Street since they like companies which appear to have great growth not real growth. Keep in mind Facebook grew with the youth market and then everyone else joined in since everyone wanted to market to the youth crowd. If you talk to lots of under 21 they will tell they moved away from Facebook.

People are using Facebook less but instagram more. Its way too addicting.

Facebook is garbage and the day I deleted all my friends, photos, whatever else I could find and disabled my account, was a beautiful day. It's been over two years now and I still scratch my head why on EARTH people are on it.

Oh, you say you're on it to stay in touch with friends and family? How about you pick up the phone and call them. Or perhaps send them an email. Even *gasp* send them a few photos THAT MATTER via email.

All ponzi schemes are good ideas until the jig is up. You can only steal from people for so long before they realize they've been had.

FB got some 'splainin to do.

Now, I didn't say it was a stellar plan by any means, but when you can show more revenue that's not always a bad thing. I recognize that this isn't going to last forever for them, and I already took my gains from FB stock and got out. I had to wait for things to get out of lockup before I could sell and could see very little upside after that period.

I hope FB fails soon, that's fucked up and with all their development they should be able to get a solution to this in days if they wanted to.

That's it. I'm going back to Asian Avenue.

Billup · 02-12-2014, 07:37 AM

I have an account on private so I can stay connected to family now that we are spread out across the states. Other than that, just the amusement of looking at people from highschool with no jobs, kids, working bottom jobs, and doing the same thing they did ages ago (ha).

Instagram is about on par.

Now if anyone wants to add me on Myspace, holla.
