Facebook Review 2014

Facebook use to be a really fun social network. People could chat with family they rarely see, talk with old friends, meet new friends, play games, etc.
All 100% of your "friends" (or "fans" if you are/were a Facebook Page) could see your posts. (Unless the person chose to hide you from their newsfeed)

Nothing compared to Facebook, a few years ago, everything else was 2nd and 3rd best.

That is until Facebook started making change - after change - after change. Yes, it gets ridiculous and annoying after a while. (To say the least.)
Now, maybe half of your "friends list" can see your post.

So when you are talking to someone on the phone (or in person) and they say, "Oh did you see where so-and-so had her baby and posted pics?" And you're like, "um, no.." Then you go hunting down her page to see if she has you blocked. It isn't that people are blocking you. It's that Facebook is taking it upon themselves to decide who's Newsfeed we do and don't show up in. (As if people are brainless and don't know how to "hide" people from their Newsfeed that they don't wish to see, or better yet, just "unfriend" them!)

And for the Facebook Pages, their posts now only go out to an estimated 20% of their Fan base. Fair? No. But Facebook wants to make money off of them. For so much money, you can "boost" your posts, etc.. make sure that 100% of your Fans see your posts.

Facebook already had Ads and Sponsors to begin with, and as they grew, so did their appetite for money so it seems. But, along with making these changes that I've noted, they would also make physical appearance changes to the site.

Just as you would think you were use to it one way, months later, they'd up and change something else about it. (Not impressive.) Many people have complained, some have left Facebook. Some only stay to stay in contact with family they rarely see.

It's really sad watching what was the #1 Social Network, slowly going down the drain. (Due to money hungry people)
