Yet you joined right in. I guess that makes you just as stupid.

Like which ones?

These other social media applications you mention don't offer the same medium for interacting. The narcissism of sharing pictures eventually gives way to a more adult desire to just stay in touch.

Why would they need to share the same medium for interacting?

Thanks Captain Obvious! I do believe I DID say Facebook is profitable and WILL continue to be profitable so as long as it continues to change and evolve. It will NOT remain profitable if it stays in its current form, because eventually, as it always happens in the IT world, something else comes along that is better than the current best, and then ten years down the road, we make fun of guys like you who were beating their chest and proclaiming that Facebook will stick around forever.

Yet again, you chose to be apart of the discussion. So logic would say you either stop complaining or you don't partake in the discussion. Seems pretty straightforward with me, unless you're just trying to troll.
