Privacy concerns – 48.3 percent

General dissatisfaction – 13.5 percent

Shallow conversations – 12.6 percent

Fear of becoming addicted – 6 percent

 

i would abandon it myself if not for the connections ive been able to make and only have on Facebook.  Therefore sadly, I stay.  If not for facebook, I would not have been able to reconnect with my now wife after 12 years of being disconnected.  (We met in 2001, grew apart, didnt speak for 12 years, reconnected, clicked, married)  Crazy right?   She lived in a different state than me too.  Don’t be suprised if this trend continues.  Online users have seen many FB type sites come and go.  facebook is just a fad, I think, and it too will one day crash and die like Myspace did.  -Mort
