Teens break up with Facebook

techfruit

I don't think it's privacy (real of believed) that is turning younger users away from Facebook - it is the frictionless sharing which dominates almost everything you see on the site these days.

All your friends do not share all your passions, tastes, political views, etc - and yet everything everyone reads/listens/watches is pushed in front of your eyes as if they were actively curating them. They aren't. Rather than a timeline full of messages to and from friends and invotes to parties, 90%+ of that timeline is now X read this or is listened to that - none of which anyone wants to know or really share.

Thumb Down

They did more than link to mixtapes containing some illegal mp3s, if you take a look on Archive.org about their content over last summer - they were posting straight mp3s of singles from Leona Lewis, Mel C, and Kelly Clarkson amongst others.

The majority of music blogs try to help and promote artists, but posting top40 singles is simply infringing copyright to gain web traffic and something which should be stopped to be honest.
