A tug of war is taking place between Facebook (FB) bulls and bears. It is playing out in the blogosphere and financial news outlets. Facebook has passionate longs and shorts as can be expected with a stock that has increased to the degree it has over the past year.

I think it will wither…..people are already tiring of it, and they are so picky about ad content. I try and promote my author page with some political stuff and they disapprove about 80% of the attempts. I think I’m about done with it….

It’s lost its moxy to twitter, instagrams, etc. Young people love the instant gratification that those things provide.

You neglected to mention that you yourself are the “author”.

yep, as with my own 23 year old daughters who have moved on snapchat, intagram, and an instant text app, (not the normal- through your phone carrier text thingie) that I cannot remember the name of, at the moment.. it’s the new flavor of the month.

but our baby boom generation will continue to use Facebook to keep up with relatives.... and we have the money, not 14 to 30 year olds.

yes they have moved on... so what. I’m no expert, but I think Facebook will continue to be hugely viable.

Teenagers are deserting FB in droves. The instant their parents started using it, the exodus began. What kid wants his parents horning in on their discussions with their peers?

It’s like that one girl’s Mom who likes to go to her kid’s parties, dressed as a teenager?

During the Golden Globes last night, Tina Fey cautioned Netflix, telling them to enjoy their ride before snapchat beats them at their game. (I’d never heard of snapchat.)

Because I sold it to the website as an “exclusive”. Therefore I do not have the legal right to post the article here beyond the excerpt.

Try doing something meaningful with your life and FOR your country. Such an existence of stalking people over such trifling matters is a waste of your abilities.

I've come to think that his abilities are not being wasted bullying posters. Sadly, it appears to be the extent of his abilities.

SnapChat is a phone app where youts can send pix of their junk that “supposedly” evaporates after a user defined period of time (up to 10 seconds).
