    No, I don't use Facebook anymore. Like you, I'm now using WhatsApp. It is true that in Facebook there are some useless things and all that. Besides WhatsApp, I also use Twitter just for the excess free time. For example, in Twitter you can know anything about the world. In Twitter, you can also tweet to popular people and they will most likely respond to you. Some people love this like I am.

    Yes, I do use facebook and I am very much active on it.Not only facebook I stay active on most of the social networking sites.Facebook is one of the best invention.I would like to thank Mr.Mark Zuckenberg for this brilliant idea.Facebook helps me to stay connected with my friends even if I stay from them.I even love to post my experiences on facebook.In my opnion facebook has strenghten relations and is doing very well even after so many years.I don't think that the number of facebook users will ever decrease.

    I still use Facebook, but not in the same way that I used to. Previously, I would post daily, putting up ideas I had or jokes I came up with, but I realised it was the equivalent to shouting into an abyss - I would rarely, if ever get a response and it was just a waste of time.

    Now I only use Facebook sparingly, but it is still important, as the older generations have discovered it and use it quite a lot, so I find it a really useful way to keep in touch with my relatives. But to contact friends, I would tend to use WhatsApp, or Instagram if I want to share pictures.

    Facebook is like the home that we all grew up in and now that we are all grown up and moved on to twitter, whatsapp and others. We still move back, just check up on things there.

    I still keep going back but mostly it's only for posting a thing or two like birthday wishes, checking up on friends who I don't have constant communication with and participate in community pages only.

    I can relate to that feeling. I once had stopped using Facebook, but now I use it extensively. Whatsapp is great, but I use Facebook mainly to stay connected to the world. The speed of news on Facebook is much faster than that of any other social network website. Whatsapp is great for one to one discussions but Facebook gives you the freedom to stay connected to the world of your interest. For instance, I do not have any friend who likes Golf as a sport and therefore to get updates on the latest trends, events, and news I rely on Facebook.

    Yes, I do use Facebook on daily basis. I have my friends and family there and it's still the best place to exchange news and photos, share some links with the others. I don't think that watsapp can substitute Facebook for me - it's more of an instant chat (it's better than the FB messenger though). I'm also a part of several communities, so I check it every once in a while to stay updated.

    However, I do find some information on FB a bit annoying, like unnecessary notifications and reposts I keep seeing. But after blocking and hiding few things you can keep your timeline customized :)

    Yes, I still use Facebook. I do not post on it as much as I used to because of all the drama that goes on now. I usually use Facebook keep in contact with friends and family. I will post photos and comments here and there, but I usually just scroll through it to see what everyone is up to. It's a good way to keep in contact if you don't have someone's phone number or email address. I also follow fan pages of my favorite celebrities to see upcoming events. Overall, Facebook is used for many things.

    I just started using it for my business. I hate that you have to create a personal account before you can create a business account. I wanted to promote my website and have a presence on Facebook but I have zero need to connect with people via Facebook personally. Whether or not this will bring visitors to my website is yet to be determined.

    I hear the newer apps like Instagram and Snapchat are what the millennials are using while Grandpa and Grandma are using Facebook. I believe it is dying.

    I have an account and I still use it, but I don't browse Facebook as much as I used to. I used to check it multiple times a day to see what things have my friends been posting, but now I only use it to chat with people since barely anyone uses Skype or texting among the people I know. I feel like Facebook is becoming less and less important for most people as they started to migrate to other services such as Snapchat and Vine. Personally, I don't use those, but I might start using them soon. I will still use Facebook for chatting, though.

    Yeah. I use Facebook a lot to learn about different subjects. I am subscribed to myriads of news and information sources. Too many great ones to mention here. My newsfeed is amazingly intriguing. I don't even get the time to go through all of the extremely useful information and news in detail. But, I do run through most of them. That is, according to me, the best part of facebook. Also, these days there are live videos to watch and you get the answers to your questions on a particular thing instantly.
    It is very good to communicate with people and share positive thoughts and ideas. :)

    I use Facebook because it is the easiest way to communicate with old friends and new people I send them friend request whom I like to know and like their posts and I upload photos and I think almost all the people who like to comminate with others use Facebook cause is it doesn't matter who you are from where you are if you want to talk to them just send then request and wait for approval as I am waiting for approval on forum wheel and giving me a good rating

    I still use Facebook but not as much as I used to. It's a great platform for communicating with friends and family. Unfortunately, you see people using it to shameless brag about or promote themselves. It's easy to ignore such posts but if they occur on a daily basis, you kind of feel disillusioned. I mean, there should be more to life than socializing online, right? It's good to share and feel loved but oversharing and desperate attention-seeking can give non pageantry-oriented people a headache sometimes.

    Yes i have been using it since i was 8 and still using it. I mainly use it to keep in touch with people and find out gossip more then playing games and stuff. I don't use whatsapp only because you have to pay for it. I am a daily user on Facebook though.

    I still have a Facebook but not because I have interest in it. Don't get me wrong I do get on the website daily to see what my family has been into since I moved a few states away but other than that there is no use. People have ruined Facebook in my opinion, from kids that are 8 and 9 year olds having a profile (which is inappropriate) to all the holy rollers calling everyone out for their sins like they've never sinned before. All the people ranting about irrelevant things or posting what "good deed" they done that they had to share it with everyone they knew to get kudos for it. It's just annoying, the only reason I keep Facebook is to keep in contact on the messenger with my family and friends without cell phones.

    I still use Facebook, although I am not as active on it as I was when I joined. The main reason for this is obvious; other forms of communication. With WhatsApp and many other social media sites, Facebook no longer plays such a big part in my life but it is still relevant.

    Absolutely yes.
    People are using social networks. This is the age of social networks. Now, these social networks become the part of life. I like to use facebook. I love to stay connected with my social networks friends. I like to post on facebook status or etc.

    Yeah, I love Facebook, I sometimes use it for leisure and for business purposes. I have my personal profile where I apprise my status and a page where I promote my business and other staff. It’s really helpful.

    I still currently use facebook and it couldnt be anymore better. I just dont enjoy all of the updates. I have been able to get in contact with my family thats across the world so that has been a plus. Im also able to post what I enjoy and share my opinion on things when I want. Im able to stay in contact with close friends and family. I dont know what I would do without it.

    Yes I still use Facebook. I also have stock in Facebook. I primarily use Facebook to stay in touch with friends and family that live long distance. I do not visit the site daily like others. I probably visit and post to Facebook 3 times a week but some of my friends post daily. I think social media will continue to set the standard in which people communicate. I don't see this changing in the near future.
