Shocking and surprising and not so pleasant news says that Facebook is driving more traffic then news sites. So, people are more interested in networking than in the news.. Why is it so? What is making people so fb-maniac?

You get all you want

idea posted by Darshana Sawant HR Manager, Leading IT services company

You can find almost all latest news and important discussions on Facebook as well because someone or the another keeps on sharing the stuff there. There is nothing which is important but is not on facebook. wo why will a person go to other sites when he gets all he wants on the same site.

IT IS ENEVITABLE....

idea posted by Sairam. M System Administrator

FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO AGREE WITH MR.S.BAALU SINCE HE ZEROED IN ON THE RIGHT PROBLEM WHAT TOOSTEP IS FACING RIGHT NOW!!!!  

AS I SAID EARLIER SOME AGED PEOPLE ARE CROSSING THEIR LIMITS, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT PROBLEM THEY HAVE, EITHER THEY ARE LIVING DISCONTENT LIFE OR FAILED TO ACHIEVE WHAT THEY ALWAYS LONGED FOR, MAYBE.  

WE CANNOT DARE TO TOSS THEIR (ELDERS) RESPECT IN THE AIR, SINCE IT IS NOT OUR CULTURE AND BESIDES, WE NEED CANDID TALKS IN DEBATES, IDEAS, ETC WHATEVER IT IS.      

WHEN IT COMES TO CHOOSING A WEBSITE EITHER FOR NEWS OR FRIENDS, I THINK, TWITTER IS GOING GREAT GREAT GUNS NOWADAYS, AS IT HAS DESIGNED NEW APPLICATION WHERE GROOMS CAN CHECK THEIR WORTH, AS HOW MUCH DOWRY THEY CAN TAKE AND I WAS TAKEN ABACK WHEN MANY TECHIES CHECKED THEIRS AND FOUND MORE THAN THE SALARY WHAT THEY ARE DRAWING EVERY MONTH.  (FOR EX:- THE SALARY IS RS.20000/- PER MONTH THE APP SHOWS TO TAKE DOWRY 20,00,000/- FROM HIS WOULD BE), MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING GAGA TO USE HIS APP SINCE IT HAS MANAGED TO GRAB MANY EYEBALLS ACROSS THE WORLD.  PRE-NUPTIAL NEGOTIATION CAN BE DONE THROUGH THIS APP, BUT IN REAL LIFE NOBODY IS GONNA RELY BLINDLY ON THIS APP BECAUSE SUCH THINGS CAN ONLY BE TREATED AS FUN.  IF THE WEDDING BELLS RING FOR ANYBODY, I WOULD RECOMMEND NOT TO USE SUCH APP, IT IS JUST FOR FUN...I REPEAT...IT IS JUST FOR FUN...


NOTE: - THIS IS ONLY FOR INFORMATION AND LET ME CLEAR ONE THING THAT, I AM AGAINST DOWRY, AS PEOPLE OFTEN DO MISUNDERSTAND ME.

A PERSON WILL NEVER GO TO ANY WEBSITE AS LONG AS HE FINDS PEACE, FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT, ENCOURAGMENT ETC, ONCE ONE LOSES ALL THESE THINGS, OBVIOUSLY, HE SEARCHES FOR AN ANOTHER ONE, SINCE PEOPLE HAVE BRUTALLY FAILED TO UNDERSTAND HIM, THEN WHAT CAN HE DO?  IT IS ENEVITABLE.

HATS OFF MR.SAIRAM FOR COMING OUT OPENLY.PEOPLE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS WRITTEN IS NOT WITH ANY BIAS OR PREJUDICE AND IN NO WAY IT SHOULD BE CONSTRUED AS CRITICISM.FEELINGS ARE EXPRESSED IN BLACK & WHITE,SO THAT THE PEOPLE CONCERNED WILL TAKE NECESSARY CORRECTIVE ACTION ASAP.

News sites are dull and repetitive

idea posted by Jaygopal Raghavan Marketing Manager, Landmark Group
As if we didnt have enough of the problems around us, we have news channels beaming only sensational and sordid news time and again. Whereas FB gives the viewer a chance to connect with near and dear ones and also trace long lost loved ones. Plus it is more entertaining than todays news channels !

One feels free to express...No filteration

idea posted by Grahak Jago Freelancer, NGO
One can not get possibility through press media as the articles gets filtered depending upon whether the article would stop the media to get advertisement revenue. If not the article is printed otherwise sent to recycle bin. In the facebook there is no filteration of such nature and hence reliability is more.

Facebook drives more traffic than newa sites why?

idea posted by LAXMAN KESHWALA Freelancer, Telecom/ISP
Facebook gives more facilities,personal explanation with liked person for any time and any limit.While news sites are boring by known news,tv shows it rapidly.The news are shown as class teacher to coach the pupils for preparation of some exam.

idea posted by KR BALA Providing HR Services, Independent HR Consultant

News sites are one way traffic,indivudal participation ends with your comment on the particular news. On the other side Facebook is a great social networking site,where you meet people,shout your opinions,helps to showoff your ego also facilitates self branding.Face book is healthy as long you don't go overboard in connecting with people.

Facebook connects people from colleagues, friends, batchmates in that sense it is good but toostep is also very good as it gives the platform to share our experiences and knowledge in a large scale.

It's like Virtual reality

idea posted by Sujeet Vishwakarma Managing Director, RCA Group
Facebook has captured the psyche of the society. Miles apart, with no time to spare, people still afford to have presence of their loved and needed ones. All big business verticals have communities built-up, Facebook also works like a ready reference for all information you need, through validated individuals and firms. People get more genuineness in their online presence and activities, THAT IS WHAT CAPTURES THE TRAFFIC.

FB - a platform for co-minded people.

idea posted by KALIYAMOORTHY Oil & Gas Area Coordinator, Undisclosed

In FB, co-minded guys shares the views on various issues & mutually develop the personal network-stronger. Moreover, it allures business applications much faster. This is based on peoples' investment . It never fails & always attracts more traffic.
