Last week Facebook made the headlines with the change to it's Terms of Service (TOS). The users revolted, the media picked up on it and Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg retreated. News flash, read the ten pages of legalese before clicking the Accept button and see what rights you are giving up.
Another wrinkle. I can use that term because of my age. The demographics of Facebook users are changing. There is a shift to us older folks, see the trend in this article from istrategylabs. I wonder if that will cause some of the young whippersnappers to shift to another social platform we haven't heard of yet, or will they be able to coexist with another generation. Remember the mantra from the 60's, don't trust anyone over 30? Well, all those people are now in their 60's. It is a little scary to see Dennis Hopper as the spokesperson for Ameriprise. I still picture him rolling down the highway on a chopper. Then again, maybe he still does.
See you on Facebook, wrinkles and all.

I was thinking that what it might do is cause the younger folks to think before they post stuff. I know that's what I've had to do over the past couple of years--I mean I'm friends with my aunt and my cousins and politicians and community leaders, etc.
ReplyDeleteI've actually thought that this might be a good topic for an event at the library aimed at teens. "How to have a myspace profile without losing your job" or something silly like that.
