A Fuller View

This news - see Facebook ’sees decline in users’ - about Facebook in the UK brought a small wry smile to my face. Maybe I started a trend by quiting Facebook last month in an effort to find more time for “real social networking”!? I need to put together a definition of what I mean by real social networking - but in a nutshell what I mean it is networking offline in the real world with real people by phone or face-2-face.

Back to FB - I know the drop was only 5% which could really just be a case of a long and bad holiday hangover. Who knows? Or maybe there just is too much competition for out limited attention (see attention economy for more of an idea of what I mean) in the social networking space. I liked this table the BBC had on the top 10 social networking sites in the UK - BBC in at No 5, nice.
