Never Never Land: Fad or Fiction

Britain has become swept up in a wave of Facebook madness. Everyone seems to have logged on in the last couple of days. I’ll admit, i’m one of them and i’m hopelessly addicted. it’s deeply childish on many levels but it’s also genuinely fun, even for a devoted cynic like me.

the scale of usage in the last week must be unprecedented - particularly in the UK.

is it just a fad? like pretty much everything else… are we just motoring through like a swarm of locusts before moving on to the next new thing? or will it become part of everyone’s daily life?

i wouldn’t like to call it… but i’m thinking fad. it’s got to be. right?… and yet

  1. I think this whole damn internet thing is a fad. You’ll see. You’ll all see.

  3. I once got the caning of my life for sending messages to my schoolmates in class. Now, it seems, it is perfectly acceptable to do the same thing on the internet.

    The mind boggles!

  4. Still love your site as much as ever … I’m game for a link-trade if you’re up for it. I would like a link to WebUrbanist.com, and can give you a PR5 link from allsux.wordpress.com or a PR4 link from allsux.com in exchange ;) Drop me an email or just comment on allsux.com

  5. Sadly I get the feeling these days that anyone over 25 is considered ‘un young’. Even Glastonbury’s Michael Eavis (the 70 yr old organiser) is wanting less people over 30 in future. At least it’s moved Facebook beyond its school/college/uni ‘hot or not’ type beginnings.I’m happy to leave MySpace to the tweenies. Me, I’ll lurk in the shadows until botox is on the NHS.

  6. I wonder what constituted a ‘mature member’… i am well into my 30s but will shoot on sight anyone who thinks i am one of the mature.

  7. Facebook does seem to be in vogue at the moment and will probably stay that way until the next big thing or it gets bought up and mismanaged. I signed up myself a while ago to judge for myself (I was never attracted to MySpace). I keep reading that the mature members now outnumbers the yoof which may not be what the marketing hacks would have wanted.
