Will you be using Facebook ten years from now?

I don't use Facebook now, so I doubt it.
Prepare for an inbox flooded with blank quotes.
I think Facebook could be here to stay simply because you see its logo in almost every single website you go to. MySpace never had that kind of foothold on social networking. There are obviously many other reasons for this, but the logo exposure is the one that sticks out in my mind.
I'm hoping to get status updates sent directly to my brain, even if I'm in bed asleep. I NEED to know everything about everyone at all possible times.
I've been using it for over 7 years, since my freshman year of college. I don't see that changing in the next 10 years.
I have an account but I don't even log in. I want to delete it but my girlfriend complains for me not too. I don't know why and I don't really care anyways.
I certainly don't use Facebook for it's social aspect, well, as in, I don't talk to anyone I know in person, although one person from my past has added me as a friend, when I don't think he even knew who I was since I didn't even have my real name. I do it for free stuff, and mostly all for games. So I'll comment on a game developers page, or even for films. I just 'liked' my dental place so I can get a free five dollar Starbucks card. I don't like the idea of using it to reach out to old friends, I'm not interested in that. As for the question of if I'm still using it, that all depends. It may or may not be a reliable thing to go to anymore. It may turn into Myspace.
I'm honestly surprised, I thought facebook would have lost some steam a year or two ago, but it's still going strong.
Facebook will probably follow MySpace and be replaced by the next social network sooner rather than later. I barely use it now so when that happens I most certainly won't.

Facebook is here to stay, they made a goddamn movie about it. Now I'm just waiting for a video game based on the movie.
That really doesn't mean anything. Kodak went under because hardly anyone ever buys actual film anymore. They went from being the kings of an industry to a bit player because no one needed the one thing that they were really good at. There's always the possibility that Facebook could be overtaken by something else some day. If the company as a whole can adapt as market changes occur, they'll stick around, but otherwise, they could just end up like Kodak.
Won't be using Facebook in a year, it's losing popularity pretty fast and more niche sites are growing. I only ever use it for communication mostly nowadays so I'm cool with it dying. I actually wish Google + caught on cause I've been investing in the Google ecosystem and would have loved to have all my contacts working through it.
Probably. I can see a future where maybe some other company takes over the market but I don't believe twitter is that company/ website. However, I can also see Facebook being used for a long time from now.. so we will see!
I was rather surprised to be in the majority this time, last time I voted on one of these most people were full time facebook users. For some reason social media hooks have never found their way into me, which I always found odd given how popular facebook and twitter are. I have a facebook account that was made for me that hasn't been touched in at least four years, I find it a little amusing my high school friends still bother to stop by the page every year because facebook reminded them of my birthday.
I have a Facebook but I never use it, I have my Twitter linked so it posts my stuff automatically so I have no need to ever go on there
I love how everyone hates on Facebook, and yet everyone is always checking it every single day and often times for hours everyday.
Weird how people do that. But people like to criticize loudly in public.
As for me, I'm still proud of the fact that I've never installed any apps outside one or two. I have enough legit games I need to play, and I feel like any sort of online game is just a waste of time. Although I did start playing Words With Friends and I can see how fun it is to play with friends and why people do it.
I think Facebook is here to stay, and ten year's from now you'll be asking the same question and everyone will be hating on it again. But then they'll check it on the their phone while driving and using it to chat with their girlfriend/wife while at work.
