Here’s the warning I issued almost a year ago when Facebook became the latest tech sensation to go public:
Let’s face it, haven’t you had enough of the mundane and often-recycled crap your ‘friends’ share … every day, several times a day? Even worse are the hucksters who keep begging you to ‘Like’ them or their page so they can make money off your ‘friendship.’ Then of course there are the myriad ways those little zuckerheads get you to betray your own privacy.
These are just some of the reasons why Facebook will soon go the way of MySpace. Remember that bubble sensation…?

Now here’s the warning Wall Street is now issuing – courtesy of Wall Street Chet Sheet, April 13, 2013:
A new survey shows that teen interest in Facebook is dwindling, begging the question: Is Facebook doomed to be the next Myspace?
What is truly remarkable, if not pathetic, is that Facebook has induced so many adults to “share” like teenagers that teenagers are screaming at adults, TM(f-ing)I !
Enough said?
