As many of you know, I am not on Facebook, and I hate it. Not only because it is being overused and is now becoming a fad, but recently it has shut down its Gifts platform to focus more on commerce and its newbie, the “Buy” button, which lets you order products online without ever leaving Facebook.
Here is the big, legendary question:
What, may I ask, is Facebook? Is it a true social network like Google+ and Twitter, or is it the next Amazon or eBay?
Many people, because of this, have switched to Google’s alternative to Facebook, which is Google+. However, people still use Facebook and don’t really care about these things because they just want simple social networking. I can see their point.
But I personally thought Facebook Gifts was really interesting and it could send one of your friends a $25 iTunes Gift Card, for example, which is very convenient and nice. But no, it just had to go.
It’s simple: we can have many additional features (especially this Buy button) or we don’t have any features at all.
It is up to you.
