FB needs to be split up after that service outage they had made school and business impossible in a dozen countries where they have a monopoly on instant messaging.

Is it just me or does the logo look like...you know what.

LOL

The only two valid reasons for facebook now are the marketplace for setting up trades and meme pages.

Another possible reason is that some people have friends who live in another country/on another continent, and they want updates on said friends' lives and maybe some pictures.

I don't use facebook, like, pretty much ever. For one thing, I have zero need. Secondly, the user interface is too confusing for me. I am old (in my early 40s) and I am simply not very proficient with comps. Posting on forums like this one is the upper limit of what I can do.

the logo looks like a condom too.

Yep, it's long overdue.

Unfortunetly smaller rural ares use FB as a means for news and communications.

All town announcements are made via a news group, panned power outages, public notices etc. As a result these towns are fairly dependent on it now, although other platforms exist they are not used.

Makes it difficult to delete it when that's the only source for ongoings by the municipality, and corporations within the municipality.

It's also the primary market place in small towns since there's no kijij or craigslist.

I think it's kind of strange that these small towns would use a non-official, commercial site like facebook to communicate with their residents. Don't they have their own websites, where they can make public announcements? And they can even put a section on their official site where people can advertise, trade for stuff, look for apartments...etc.
