Facebook has a lifecycle: it started as small core for early adopters, puff out as mainstream users get dragged in by users, and then see growth is tapping down as people get turned off by spam. That's what happens to Friendster and many other social networks. Facebook is now just a time sucking hangout or I’d say that it’s a new spam heaven. Almost every few hours I’ve been getting messages from my Facebook acquaintances with links to some phishing sites also these messages are not sophisticatedly crafted but randomly drafted. The more such messages, the less useful Facebook becomes as a communications portal.
Such a spam free zone is it, isn’t it?
Please don’t get me wrong as I’m not completely knocking all social networks. Most of the Facebook users are available on a variety of other social networks, I’d suggest them try the other networks to reach your target audience rather hanging on Facebook which has become a spammer’s community.
I am unable to understand that what does this “Poke” feature make sense? That’s really kidding to poke your colleague online. Sorry, my “friends,” take your Zombies and Pirates and Ninjas and Green Thumb Fake Anti-Global Warming Initiatives and Grateful Dead Bears and Hatching Eggs and mind-numbing empty “just for fun” diversions and go poke yourselves.
Mark Zukerburg needs to understand that these spam attacks are a clear and present danger for Facebook users.
