Even with the controversy surrounding the new terms of use the Facebook founders have tried to enact, people will still be addicted to Facebook. Although, Facebook did retract its new hidden policies today, I doubt that the would have affected Facebook use. I know that I would still post pictures, send messages and put up information. We are too addicted. Facebook has become a force in social networking and could possibly take over all other forms of electronic communication.
Think about it, Facebook has a message system, a chatting feature, updated statuses, photo albums, and personal profiles. This website combines email, AIM, Twitter, individual photo album pages and could possibly serve as a resume. The group and event features are great ways to communicate to a desired group of people. Many PR and business professionals see this Facebook overtake as a definite possiblity. In the Fusion PR Forum they discuss how Facebook could serve as a more initimate connection between reporters and PR professionals as well as updated contact information. Facebook provides 3 ways of communication, and one is sure to contact someone through one of them. All these features present a convincing argument for the switch to using Facebook as one's main form of communication.
Facebook has the potential to be the biggest people connector in our society. Watch out. Can it be stopped?
