I'll say this, facebook is dying. But the new king is not G+, no. Demographically speaking, FB users like gossip, while G+ users like quality. Mom will never go to G+ and I will never go to FB.

So, there is a need for a new facebook and G+ is not the answer. I dare to say something like pinterest, with a river of short messages and pictures, but highly visual, will replace FB.

No ads, no apps, no likes, no stupidity in the name of profits, no privacy whoring.

That's the new facebook.




No ads? Pinterest essentially presents nothing but ads.


Like pinterest, in the visual sense, but about family, friends and celebrities, not ads. Something that floods me with gossip and pics, people talking about people, like a reddit for the family.

I won't use a service like that, like I don't use pinterest, but that is exactly what will take FB's place in the future.

My personal digg, shared with family and friends.
