Support NeoGAF

[qizah]

More reason to shift to G+ I suppose. My Facebook feed is mostly a funny pic/video dump now or a cool video dump. My G+ feed is mostly strangers but a lot more interesting discussion happens there.

But none of my friends use G+ lol. Wonder if this will drive some of them away from Facebook all t together.

 

[Cynar]

I've been using google+ a ton more thanks to all the updates. This will just make it much easier to completely migrate. I await this with open arms and a middle finger to zuckerberg.

 

[Oersted]

Umm

Outside neogaf I guess thats a thing.

 

[brokenbeans]

Finally a legit reason for me to delete my account.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

How much of a greedy twat do you need to be to not see how damaging this could be

Well, you would have to be Mark Zuckerberg. Didn't you see The Social Network?

 

[wenis]

Oh God, the horror. Do they not realize this could potentially sink Facebook?

thats been the plan forever... throw the most epic party, but at some point mom and dad are coming home on sunday morning and you gotta call the cops on your own shit to get it cleared out.

 

[trinest]

Maybe this would drive more people to actually use Google+ and it won't be a wasteland.

Please people are leaving Google because they are greedy back to alternatives like Microsoft.

Google+ will never be popular.

Yep, it really does work wonders. I don't get any of the side ads on Facebook

GAF, lets get some programmers together and start a new social media site. We can call it...MyBook. Or Friendspace. Or MyFace.

MyFace when the Americans calls Movie Movie Sell Me Stuffs "Video ads".

Maybe this will make more of my friends switch to Google+.

I've got it! This is one of the last steps of Facebooks masterplan:

First they reel all people in
Then they collect all the info about them
They release stupid ads like these to make more money
And when people leave for Google+, Facebook will say: everyone with an account not used in a week, the info on that person will be released for free on the webz.


And BAM! Everyones back at facebook again, and mark is swimming in the green sea of money and hate of others.

 

[Anaslex]

I can see why this is happening. Facebook is under a lot of pressure to come up with a sustainable ad model to increase revenue.

I have a feeling Facebook's time will be short lived if they don't figure out their ad model soon. This is something Google has done incredibly well.

 

[MrHicks]

i'm constantly amazed there are people who browse the entire internet without ablocker
disable on gaf yadayadayada ok......but the whole web?

wtf is this shit
do you actually think google will go bankrupt if you adblock youtube lol?
damn

"People?"

Yes, everyone will flock to Microsoft's Facebook killer, Socl! It's a shoe-in.

Oh jeez...think of the television commercials...

 

[UnblessedSoul]

Everyone from facebook moved over to twitter anyway

 

[marrec]

I know it's kind of a popular thing to say these days, but I don't use Facebook.

It's not because I'm making some kind of statement, it's because I have no idea how it works.

I used to know how to do stuff on Facebook... but for some reason it's all fucking obtuse now.

MyFace was already done.

What's the color of the sky in your world?

 

[grimshawish]

These Investors need to accept they pissed all their money on what was the most profitable marketing campaign of a generation (hey its actually worth billions more, what a steal, right?!). But they are just going to destroy their investment even more.

Expand stronger into video and search functions, Facebook should be the homepage like Google is just now.

This is setting fire to a house in order to kill a rat.
Facebook is currently on a campaign against their users, the only people to benefit are the better managed other social sites,

 

[Pie and Beans]

Okay, time to start getting serious about Google+ I guess. Jesus christ.

 

[KingFire]

Ads? What ads?!

 

[Leucrota]

Better this than subverting user privacy. They have to make money somehow.

Most of my feed is invites to games or pictures shared from some dumb profile anyway.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Are Zuckerburg and his cronies just wringing as much money out of FaceBook as they can, before leaving it to die?

 

[freenudemacusers]

wat

you know, americans and their ads!
