The delusion of Social Networks

12 点作者 sifarat超过 11 年前
As an entrepreneur, who runs a logistics business, or for that matter, what you may call an &#x27;offline business&#x27;. I have deleted my twitter&#x2F;facebook&#x2F;linkedin&#x2F;Goolge+ accounts.<p>I was expecting, I am going to bankrupt or out of business. But &#x27;surprisingly&#x27; nothing has happened.<p>I am not an old-fashioned guy, I am perhaps of the elite of &#x27;early adopters&#x27; just to put emphasis. The kind of guy, who always keep OSX&#x2F;iOS up to date, and would buy any App that appears here ;) just to summarize.<p>However to my astonishment, the old-fashioned way of getting things done and promoted is far more worthwhile than these stupid things. (social networks).<p>I am more able to put focus on my real job, and while still being better informed. There is no information overload. Previously even though I was following 100 blogs on twitter&#x2F;facebook. But truth is, I would barely click any of the links. And I was being deluded, that since I am following all these cool websites, I will be better informed, and that information will help me somehow.<p>Now I have bookmarked few sites, and randomly check them 1 or 2 times a day. I get to read couple of articles too which are worth my time.<p>As for Social Networking, clearly Facebook is a failure, It&#x27;s just a show off and you would never know if your friends are actually in good shape and conditions. Because everyone just would pretend, he is a billionaire and having the best ever time of their life. But sadly and mostly it&#x27;s not true.<p>You can never know it, until you meet them in person or at least make a phone call, fuck skype too. I don&#x27;t know but Skype does not convey true emotions for reasons unknown, Perhaps it&#x27;s internet related service, and people still pretend the same way as the do on other internet services like Facebook.<p>Finally, I am feeling much better and relaxed and more focused on my work. end.

&gt;As for Social Networking, clearly Facebook is a failure<p>It is hard not to dismiss your entire post as trolling, but I&#x27;ll bite because I&#x27;m particularly curious about that sentence. If you&#x27;re not trolling, I&#x27;d be curious to hear your definition of success and why Facebook so clearly misses that mark. I quit Facebook more than a year ago, but I&#x27;m not myopic enough to claim that a billion monthly active users spread across the globe from different social and economic backgrounds is a failure.

facebook is quite good for sharing family pictures with whoever wants to look (grandparents want to see grandkids).<p>It&#x27;s also pretty good for keeping up with your children&#x27;s school, provided they have a facebook page and update it with info about activities.<p>As you mentioned, there are better ways to keep up with your friends+family regarding specifics, but facebook is really good at things that can be broadcasted.

I work in technology, I am a geek who has worked for big companies and yet I don&#x27;t use Facebook, I think is a waste of time. I realize that most people there are just self promoting, I use linked in which is more useful for me to make connections.

It depends on your industry and target market. There is no one size fit all.
