Bored of Facebook


I think the title just about sums it up really. A while ago I made some changes to how I used Facebook because I was aware I was using Facebook primarily to distract me from the tasks at hand. The net result being that I more or less stopped looking at Facebook. Now I go on maybe about two minutes a day and not every day either.

I think the fact that my Mum is on Facebook might have something to do with it. There are tons of ways to stay in touch with people, share pictures, organise events and pretty much everything Facebook does, there’s an app or something that does it slightly better. There’s nothing new really about it and slave that I am to my culture, I’m addicted to the new. So while 800 million users makes Facebook impossible to ignore (especially as it’s valued at $100 billion), it’s also no longer interesting.

It may be the fact that as I get older I’m becoming less sociable. Plenty of people would agree with that assessment. But perhaps Facebook just isn’t the best way to be sociable.

Whatever the reason, I’m bored with Facebook. Is there anyone else or is just me?

  1. I find it boring too. My use of Facebook is not really personal anymore. Most of what I post is just articles I find interesting, and my blog auto-posts there as well. Other than that, I rarely use it. I prefer Twitter so much more. Easier to use, far less demanding, and much more interesting. I only keep Facebook because of folks back in North America who like to keep in touch that way.

    1. I agree and I tend to use Facebook in the same way.
