ARTICLE 1 : ALL THE COOL KIDS ARE QUITTING FACEBOOK

Having a Facebook account is no longer cool? 

When it first launched by Mark Zuckerberg on February 2004, it became the most used social networking service. And now, having a Facebook account is like a must for everyone

in this 21st century where more than 800 million were the active users. It is the one of the explosion of social networking sites which are designed to be communities where people with shared interests and activities can come together. It is a recent invention that has the Internet still at the edge of it's seat due to its popularity with the community.

But, despite of the popularity among people who use this social site,  Facebook is actually not cool anymore. Based on the New York Times newspaper, it is reported that Facebook is having a slow increasing of total users where it only rise 10 % in a year. 

What is actually the causes of this problem?

From what i can see there are many reasons why people quitting Facebook.  Here are some of the reasons that I think contributed to the this problem : 

            1) Threat of viruses

            2) Spam and scams

            3) Can be too addicting

            4) Life threatening

            5) Hackers and cyber stalkers

            6) Communication volume in  life dropped

            and many more...

There are many cases also where a friend become an enemy just because a Facebook and also crush a relationships. For example, based on the research by University of Guelph, researcher found that Facebook use led to increased jealousy in relationships, amid greater social exchanges with friends and previous partners. Lovers often get suspicious when their partners get hooked to the site. Some cases where her boyfriend were stole by her own best friend (BFF). So, these are some of the factors that can cause a relationship to be crush. 

Whether to quit it or not, it depends on the people itself. If it can give benefits to you, then you can choose to continue. But, if Facebook is just a burden or give trouble to you, then you better to quit it soon before it is too late to make things right again.
