Hey,
This subject fascinates me. For many reasons, I’ve never been a fan of Facebook (horrid usability, encouragement of a disappearing attention span, privacy issues, and too much power concentrated in one entity).
And yet, of course, all of my clients request that their sites have Facebook links. But I’ve actually gone out on a limb with my clients and stated my personal belief that Facebook is about to begin its decline. I’ve got a whole list of reasons why I believe this.
I’m glad to see there are people in the design world who share my view! Sometimes, it can feel as if Facebook is an inevitable evil.
Thanks,
Matthew
