So, despite the supposed decline in popularity of Facebook, it's perhaps more ubiquitous in society than ever before, and is absolutely the first form of Social Media to widely appeal to pretty much every age group (I don't have the stats, but I doubt there are too many 65 year olds on Tumblr!).
So - do you like Facebook yourself? Are you indifferent? Do you loathe it? Personally, I find myself using it quite a lot, but I don't particularly enjoy it. Too much of people bragging and projecting an unrealistic image of what their life is actually like. On the other hand, it's a fun tool to share my thoughts to a (relatively) large number of people about sport/literature/current affairs, and it's useful for keeping in touch with friends I don't get to see regularly.
So, fellow ADISCers, how do you feel about Facebook? And as a wider issue, do you think its existence is good for people's social lives/self-esteem/interaction etc., or do you see it as an overall negative phenomenon?
