And yes, ACDSee has an uploader for Flickr built into it. And when you tag photos in ACDSee (add keywords) - they are put into Flickr too. For example you could label photos London, vacation - and those tags would automatically be listed in Flickr.

Comment on Facebook Growth Rate Decline or Holiday Lull? by alipurls

Facebook is becoming a spam box. Plus none of the apps are any fun except Scrabulous. I feel a shift to Twitter. But what do I know? I’m just a girl who knits.

Comment on Facebook Growth Rate Decline or Holiday Lull? by Johan Myrberger

Hi - interesting figures for US.

A question - are you looking at the numbers in Facebook related to the Regions (networks) or from the SocialAd utility?

I have looked at both for a while, but on a global basis. See http://thekillerattitude.com/2007/12/more-facebook-statistics.html for my latest post on the topic. I also noticed a decline in growth. Could be both because facebook is reaching the saturation level and because the hype has slowed down?

Agreed. Great analysis and statistics Dave. Looking forward to your upcoming Facebook analysis.

Additionally, I think Mari’s onpoint about the 80/20 in terms of the groups. Alternatively, there are huge groups of people who use Facebook as their new homepage, because its like the rolodex and email on steroids.

>>>BTW, I met a 23-year-old gal at a party recently - she shared she only has 14 friends on Facebook. It seems the younger generation prefer texting to stay in touch.

Lack of friend numbers doesn’t necessarily show lack of engagement. Hopefully Facebook activity will rebound–my gut says it that overall its still trending up, despite the negative spike from Beacon. Additionally, lulls or dips in Facebook use don’t matter, as long as the people you want to interact with are entirely absent.

Cheers,
Nathan

Hey Dave - great data. Thx for compiling. I got an interesting tweet today in response to sharing your blog post on Twitter:

“Depends on where you start from. In FR, with a very small base to start with, November growth was +83%. But people may get tired.”

I think the Holidays are playing a large part. But I can also feel a wane in enthusiasm and activity level among many of my friends/community. Nonetheless, I’m also seeing new buddies join in… just at a slower rate.

Most likely the 80:20 rule applies. 80% of activity comes from 20% of users. And even those could be broken down further into demographics.

BTW, I met a 23-year-old gal at a party recently - she shared she only has 14 friends on Facebook. It seems the younger generation prefer texting to stay in touch.

Cheers,
Mari

Isn’t it amazing how intuitively they utilize the various features of Facebook? There is so much to learn by observing them!

You’ve garnered a considerable list from your young man. He will be a wealth of information.
