The newsfeed or whatever you call it was and probably still is bullshit designed for addiction and little else. I say this because what frustrated me most about it was that posts appearing towards the top of my feed tended to be least 2 days old. It barely mattered how much I tried to keep up with things. Why is this important? Well, there's something about Facebook where if you try to participate in a conversation more than half a day old, significantly fewer people will see what you wrote and you may very well be talking to a wall. That's been my experience, anyway. In contrast, although conversations have a limited viability, I've found that I usually have a shot of having someone see what I wrote even if the original post was from 3 or more days prior.

In short, the newsfeed succeeded in making me always feel left out. Checking it several times every day was never good enough.
