I barely use Facebook these days, and when I do, I usually log in through my phone's Facebook app, which has no adverts. Sometimes, I used the shiny iPad app, which again, has no adverts.

My friends barely use Facebook either. When I was a student, I used to log in approximately every ten minutes. If you said "Facebook break", everyone knew what you meant. When I logged in, I could guarantee a stream of amusing "banter" and gossip, as links and pictures were shared. Now, I log in, and it's a wasteland. Almost all the links I click on and the online running conversation I have has migrated to Twitter, which I check religiously. So too have all the most prolific Facebook users I used to know. While we probably still count as "regular users", for more and more of my generation, Facebook is little more than an electronic address book. That's why big advertisers, like GM, are reducing their spend on the company.
