Even though Facebook continues to maintain its impressive user growth and rack up advertising revenue, that growth is coming despite a major shift in the promise of advertising on that platform. Right now, Facebook is on track for $6 billion in ad revenues but it’s walked away from the fundamental premise of its ad platform.

I am not alone in not being pleased with the new way that comments on pages from non-admins are marginalized from the main content of the page, positioned well below the fold in the right column under the heading “Recent Posts by Others on [page name].” Facebook restricts what a Page’s Cover Photo may contain.

Though it’s dangerous to assume anything about leadership in the social networking space (Facebook overtook MySpace as the biggest social network less than a decade ago , after all), the landscape does seem to have matured and stabilized somewhat at this point. Two-thirds of Facebook users (66%) get news on the site.

When I started Ignite Social Media in 2007, the battle between MySpace and Facebook still raged and Friendster was hanging on for dear life. Near the end of 2020, a Chinese startup leaked 400 GB of scraped data from Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. Despite that, it has features that function very much like Facebook.

This is an important and bold move (the technology not the robe), because as you are probably aware, SnapChat formerly was set up so that all content shared on the social network expired – forever – 10 seconds after it was initially retrieved. But do we, and what version of ourselves are we choosing to share?

Is Facebook a valuable Marketing tool? The general discussion (or debate - depending on which Blogs and/or articles you read) about Facebook as a marketing engine seems to be both a little misguided and a little shortsighted - all at the same time. There's this feeling of Facebook becoming the next Friendster of MySpace.

Think about the amount of links that are shared daily on Facebook and Twitter. Think about how many pieces of content you have saved to an app like Pocket with every intention of getting to (but you never will). The big question is this: will people now pay not only for content but for the curation of that content?
