46% Of U.S. Thinks Facebook Is A Fad [SURVEY]

image from www.google.comDon't stop updating your Facebook page yet, but almost half of the 1,000 people polled by the AP and CNBC believe that Facebook is just a passing fad. 51% have a favorable impression of the company, while 23% have an unfavorable opinion. And not that the average American is a financial analyst, but half of those polled also believe the initial stock asking price (which has gone up since the poll) is is too high. THE CHARTS:

  3. It’s a scary thought that so many people have voluntarily given their sensitive personal data to “a fad” which might sell them to the highest bidder when the chips are down.
    Their services might be a fad, their monitoring of their users’ behaviour (and that of their unregistered contacts!) looks like it has more longeivity, sadly.

  4. I will say that I’m not really a fan of being social online, but it is a necessity in todays entertainment industry market. I don’t look at Facebook as a threat to my privacy, because it only knows what I tell it which is not an invasion. I like where they have gone with the “Timeline” as it now acts as a scrapbook for good articles that I have read on Hypebot and cool websites like Hypebot that I visit, all organized by date. I rarely read others posts but often refer to “past likes” on my timeline for research and recall. Facebook has recognized this and tailored their interface to work with both the social bumble bees and the pack-rat wall flowers of the internet. For these reasons I believe Facebook will be as much a mainstay on the internet (as we know it) as Google.
    Twitter is dead.
    Apple has fallen and will fall again.
    Microsoft is computers.

  5. Many thanks for providing such handy information. I seriously value your expert approach. I would like to thank you for the efforts you made in writing this particular post. I am hoping the same from you in the future as well.
