Are We Seeing A Big Downturn Of Facebook Next Year?
Negative News About Facebook Is Everywhere
While reading all these negative news about Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s exit as among the top 10 richest technology billionaires, the slow growth of the social network after its public offering, the millions of possible fake FB accounts etc.; these are all like bringing my thoughts back to what had happened to friendster. My once favorite social networking site which happened to be the pioneer in the business.
In my own personal view, Mr. Zuckerberg is a lone man overseeing a giant company. Compared to Google’s empire which is managed and controlled by three (2 are founders, 1 is the exec chair) equally young, intelligent but monopolizer founders. 🙂 With this, we can see the disparity in terms of management. It is always, “two, three or more heads are better than one” principle that will prevail.
What I mean about monopolizer, is because Google’s like wanting to own every piece of this and that. They’re no longer into that giant search engine only, they are also into advertising (AdSense, AdWords), communication (Android to several smartphones aside their own), deals and coupons (Google Offers), photo editing (Picnik.com), social networking (Google+), video sharing (YouTube) and a lot more.
Though the company’s mission statement “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful” is somewhat soothing to the ears, but they’ve been flooded with complaints about intrusion of privacy, censorship and copyright.
So back to FB, according to other news , some of Mr. Zuckerberg’s top execs are leaving the company. Another sad information.
With all these, especially to Google’s continues supremacy in the internet world, do you think there is a big downturn for Facebook next year? Will FB looses its grip like what happened to friendster?
Personally, I don’t want it to happen. Let there be a continuing healthy competition between social networks.
No matter how superb and wonderfully created the Apple products are, I still maintained to be a BlackBerry user. I love Steve Jobs (the person who really hated Google, and we could see why), but I don’t like the idea that everybody’s using iPhone, iPad, iPod or Mac notebooks. 🙂
Same with social network, that is why, I should stick with Facebook no matter how great the Google+ is (according to them). Again, facebook downturn? Nahhhh! Forget it.

I just don’t know if facebook will have the same fate as friendster. I just hope no.
i expect that to happen…some will peter out and another will emerge
thats the law of contradiction
There has been a couple of new social networking sites like Zurker who try to replace facebook but I’m still sticking to facebook as now as the other newer sites are not so user friendly.
Awwww!! When Friendster shut down, I thought the same about Facebook. But I hope it won’t happen. I’m kinda attached to Facebook now, can’t let it go.
It might have the same fate yes…but it’s not going to be next year. A lot of people still use facebook and it has a lot of uses. It has groups, games, pages, chat etc. Something friendster didn’t have and people weren’t really using it for socializing.
While it’s true that it’s losing some users (including me) and it might even be significant enough for people to worry. But since they are 126962387 million/billion users away from its competitors, that’s probably not much.
Google+ has a strict policy on using real names though. And that’s why a lot of people (including me) are not using it :p
i hope not. it is really a good venue to advertise your links and product, aside from greetings and comments.
Yes! Business wise, social media marketing, facebook is very useful.
Facebook will surely make it big for years to come. They are here to stay and dominate the social networking community around the world wide web.
I hope Facebook will continue to be the most popular social network because thru FB we’ll able to find and reconnect with our long lost friends and relatives. 🙂
I really hope that Facebook will survive. It’s just needs work and maintenance, not keeping on adding features without fixing the existing bugs. It gets annoying when you see a new feature and an existing one is still not working well.
Good suggestion there Yhey! 🙂
oh my!!! I should start saving my pics from FB I dont want to have the same fate for my albums with friendster. Its so sad
Hahaha, that was funny. Yup, better be prepared! 🙂
I think it would not happen to facebook, but i do like Google+ too
I’m thinking about it too but i hope FB will survive and won’t let it happen. And yeaaa Nowayyy! I would also stick to Facebook.
i am not into google +.. too boring.. hahaha but sometimes facebook is starting to have too much clutter post of this and that.. as of now, i am a twitter user! haha
LOL!
i wish this won’t happen. FB is a very effective way to communicate with my loved ones back home.
Agree! Aside from twitter, this is where I always update myself on what’s happening everywhere not to mention though all those trash posts. 🙂
Expect the unexpected. We didn’t even think that friendster will be shut down. But, with facebooks millions of users, let’s just hope it can survive.
will just wait and see… so far facebook is working well and if they will have new one then it is ok. Good to explore different upgrades right?
Whats up! I merely would like to give a huge thumbs up for the great data you’ve gotten right here on this publish. I might be coming back to your weblog for more soon.
