You Heard It Here First: Facebook Is Finished

Facebook changes its layout and design all the time. I doubt they will lose any significant number of users due to simple layout changes, especially since peer pressure will force people to keep coming back.

Layout is one thing, timeline is another... it's very radical change that annoys most of their users..

I don't have personal FB for year or more but do have business one and as soon as I land on some profile with timeline I hit back.

It'e their biggest mistake ever
 
Lame prediction. Half of my IRL friends have converted to timeline willingly. It doesn't seem to upset anyone, and in fact many people praise the new layout. Facebook is still king, get over it.

Yawn...next thread.

Lol you do not read the news much do you?

90% of all users are complaining and saying they are going to leave facebook because of this.

Just because a few of your friends comply by whatever facebook gives them does not speak for the majority.

So yawn yourself.
 
You want a cookie?
I mean really, what are you trying to do, say I told ya so to BHW

I could see your prediction happening because the timeline will be a requirement. This is a drastic change, I for one don't like it. I also believe it's just time for a new social network, Google Plus has been gaining some popularity. Personally I am not feeling it though, I just hate how mighty "G" tries to take over every damn thing!
 
sooner fb is out of the picture sooner some new network can come along that we can all exploit :saevil:
 
Nobody knows, if you're that certain short their stock price when the IPO happens and bet your life savings and your parent's life savings on it and you'll be a very rich man/woman. If you're not a FB insider, tbh, you're a gambler. Although it's fun to make a guess and stick your neck out, me personally with regards to FB, I really couldn't call it, I can see the value in Timeline, people hate change but once they get used to something, a thing like timeline over the long term will be impossible(almost) to discard in terms of it's value. There's literally nothing else available that people on the whole are already involved in that documents a persons life like FB timeline does. The only question is whether enough people will adopt timeline and use it for a period of time that is long enough to let joe public realise the "necessity" of timeline.It's disturbingly intrusive but incredibly well thought out and meaningful, tbh the last 3 years of my life are pretty well landmarked by timeline as I got early access to timeline being a developer and already I see the benefits and memories it has brought back and that's just a few years. Imagine if from this moment on you pretty much recorded all your status updates, songs, photos,videos and general musings and looked back in 40 years at it all. Incredible, I'd be hard pushed to write FB off just yet, if they pull this off, they've got themselves a place in history on a par with the fucking Romans or even the Loch Ness Motherfucking Monster son.

True that

Facebook is a part of the culture now, so doubt that its going to lose user at the rate you predict. Plus I don't see any other social network out there that could fill the void....
do you??

Havent heard of TheBackPlane yet have you? A new social network that has investors like Lady Gaga (who owns 20% of the company) and Googles Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt. Lady Gagas website littlemonsters uses TheBackPlane technology and its a pretty amazing experience. This will no doubt destroy facebook, twitter, tumblr, etc. Especially since it is essentially all those in one much better package

I personally think the concept of a timeline is a waste of time.

We are living in a world that is constantly changing and thriving and everything is in real-time almost, so to place a business on what you did in the past is asking for failure.

No one wants to look at what they did 3 or more year ago, or even last year, because people are constantly changing. People get new girlfriends / boyfriends, new jobs, new cars, new houses, etc. no one wants to just sit there and look at their own past.

And even if the minority of people wanted to look at their past, then they could simply click on older posts and go reread what they wrote.

But to make a drastic change for everyone mandatory is asking to fail.
 
I turned my timeline off.
Customized facebook is where it's at.

Pretty massive prediction there.

I also think that facebook is going to decline but not on that short timescale. Dumped my account some time ago, never looked back.

I've been off facebook for over a year now. I used to waste a lot of time with that shit.

I'm a cashier. I ran into Mark Zuckerberg like a month ago. He was with two friends, and they bought a lot of beer. I recognized him and asked him if he's Zuckerberg, but he denied its him. He keeps a very low profile. I told him that his fb was in fact the ANTI social network as it kept people on their computer for too long instead of going out, but that its good for making money. He still wouldn't admit that its him, and just left with his friends with a ton of Milwaukee's best.
 
I like timeline :)
My girlfriend LOVES it, but she likes to stalk people she hates haha! :p

90% of all users complain about every change they make and threaten and say they are leaving, but the question is if they leave where are they going to go??? hmmmmm NO WHERE, your prediction is crap fact of the matter is most people hates when facebook makes it changes and cry about it everytime but at the end of the day they get over because lets face it, majority of the users have nowhere else to go
 
i dont think anything like that would happen, As they lose users they gain twice as much lol :D
 
Good. That's what happens when you force people to like & think the way you want them to, ie; trying to control everyone.
I say fuck facebook.

Exactly! Every change they've made has been pure arrogance, hopefully this is one too many.
