Facebook is just, like soooo over? No, wait, before we descend into cliché, the more interesting thing about the below video is that it’s not made by Americans, but by Brits, bored with Facebook’s more useless applications and the like. But then, when you realise this is a video created by a viral marketing company, you have to ask, is this real sentiment or manufactured, especially when Facebook grew by 712% in the UK over the last year? Hard to say, but the video has had 56,339 views so far. Yes, Facebook’s traffic dropped by 5% in the last quarter, but I guess they’ll worry most when people stop posting videos about them.
