Facebook Loses Users, Satisfaction Higher at Google+

benfrog writes "Facebook has lost what (by the standards of their userbase) is a modest number of users over the last six months, which is perhaps one of the causes of a fall in their stock price. In the meantime, a study shows that Google+ users are more satisfied with the site than Facebook users, who are (understandably) upset about the number of recent UI changes, the amount of advertising, and other elements, according to a statement accompanying the study. Figures also show dramatic growth in Google+ usage."

    We should start a club for non-facebook users! Someone can run an NNTP server and we can all upload base-64 encoded JPG's of cats.

    (Seriously... FB can't die soon enough for me; I'm getting tired of holding out.)

    Whenever my relatives get in my face and are all, "Why don't you have a facebook account?!" I'm like, "Why don't you go f*ck yourselves." Then there is a beautiful moment of realization and, meanwhile, I can get back to eating my mashed potatoes.

    As I see it, get Facebook and you get an unwanted email address.
    Get a Google email address and you get an unwanted social network with it.

    I didn't get much attention as a child and I have an entitlement complex. Explain that.

    It's amazing that you're so new to this site that you don't understand that putting part of the comment in the subject line is meant to grab attention..

    BAH. REAL INTERNET USERS KNOW THAT THE BEST WAY TO GRAB ATTENTION IS TO TYPE EVERYTHING IN CAPS AND BOLD.
    FUCKIN NEWBS WITH THEIR DUMB-ASS SPLITTING THE COMMENT OUT - TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE

    besides, exactly how does splitting the comment attract attention? i don't even know someone's done it until after i start reading their comment....
