(24,096 posts)I have a FB account but don't use it much at all. I meant to cancel it but somehow have been hanging on for whatever reason.
So personally, FB does not really mean that much to me except I might see a funny cartoon now and then that would not be seen elsewhere.
But I am beginning to realize how important it can be for important events and having so many witnesses to these events now that before were none. I think FB is going to, or already has in some ways, challenge the main stream media and how they might now have to deal with 'news'. Real news instead of the regurgitated one or two headlines they only seem to be able to handle at a time.
So, FB is more of an annoyance for me and how I use it personally but overall it could be what breaks our lazy and shilling media's backs. All of them.
